Continuous Delivery Maturity Audit for a Fintech Backend
Overview
What this challenge is about.
Collect 8 weeks of deployment data (lead time for changes, deployment frequency, change-failure rate, mean time to restore) per team using their GitHub Actions + Jira + PagerDuty data (anonymized exports provided). Run a 45-minute structured interview with each team's tech lead using a CD maturity rubric covering version control, build, test, deploy, and observability. Score each team and identify the top 2 blockers per team. Deliver a 12-page audit report and a 90-day cross-team improvement roadmap with effort estimates.
The Brief
What you'll do, and what you'll demonstrate.
Audit CD maturity across 4 backend teams using DORA metrics and propose a 90-day roadmap the leadership team can fund.
Earning criteria — what you'll demonstrate
- Compute DORA four key metrics from real CI/CD and incident data
- Map blockers to specific CD practices (trunk-based dev, test automation, infrastructure-as-code)
- Structure a maturity audit that survives engineering scrutiny
- Build a roadmap that respects team-specific starting points
