01 · The problem

Software that holds the business back.

Slow releases. Rising maintenance costs.

$2.41T

Yearly cost of poor software quality in the US, from failed projects, outages and rework.

Common situations
Releases are delayed by fear of breaking production.
Each new feature breaks something that used to work.
Nobody left can explain how the code works.
Fixing bugs takes more time than building features.
