Success Story

90% Reduction in Sprint Carry-Over Through Customer 360 QA/QC Transformation for a Leading U.S. Regional Bank

Client Introduction

A leading U.S.-based super-regional commercial bank offering retail, commercial, and wealth services had implemented an enterprise Customer 360 platform to unify customer identities and enable analytics-driven decision-making.

Problem Statement

Despite a modern Customer Data Management Platform (CDMP), the bank faced significant delivery challenges.

  1. Growing backlog of user stories impacting sprint velocity.
  2. High carry-over rates reducing predictability of releases.
  3. Limited QA bandwidth slowing validation cycles.
  4. Inconsistent list requirement documentation causing rework.
  5. Governance gaps around data access, lineage, and stitch monitoring.
  6. Increased operational risk due to capacity constraints.
  7. Campaign list delivery taking up to 7 days.
  8. Slow relaunch cycles for “test-and-learn” initiatives.

The organization required structured QA oversight, backlog stabilization, and governance strengthening—without slowing ongoing business delivery.
