Managing Change
summary
Company moves from siloed projects to cross-functional product teams, exposing a release window of five months caused by a monolithic e‑commerce platform and environment coupling. Attempts include a rejected release tax, trialing new UI/services on production, and a managerial absolve of responsibility pilot to let teams rework flow. Teams run workshops, add automated testing, set OKRs, and achieve monthly mobile releases and ~three‑month web cycles today, with a stated target of goal one‑week deliveries—progressing slowly but measurably.
