Studio Ops Diagnostic — Roadmap in 2 Weeks

A mid-size iGaming studio was struggling with missed release dates, unclear ownership between product and engineering, and a growing backlog of unresolved technical debt. Leadership knew something was wrong but couldn't pinpoint the root cause.

Sergii conducted a 2-week Diagnostic Sprint: interviews with leads, review of delivery metrics, backlog health check, and process mapping. The output was a prioritised action roadmap with quick wins (0–30 days) and structural fixes (30–90 days), ready to present to the board.

Repeated release delays with no clear root cause identified internally

• Blurred responsibilities between product management and engineering leads
• Accumulating technical debt with no structured remediation plan
• Low team morale due to constant context-switching and unclear priorities

Ran structured interviews across PM, engineering, QA, and leadership. Mapped the full delivery pipeline and identified 3 systemic bottlenecks. Delivered a tiered action roadmap: 5 quick wins executable immediately, and a 90-day structural improvement plan covering ownership model, backlog grooming cadence, and tech debt budget.
