During the pandemic, VTS experienced rapid growth through both aggressive hiring and acquisitions.

VTS acquired Rise Buildings and Lane, onboarding new engineering teams into the organization.

After integration, leadership discovered the acquired teams had less effective SDLC processes.

These inefficient processes caused Cycle Time to spike to around 80 hours—nearly double that of the core VTS engineering team.

The engineering organization needed clearer visibility and better processes to bring all teams to a consistent performance standard.

Engineering leadership heavily relied on Code Climate Velocity during the integration of the newly acquired teams.

Velocity was used to identify bottlenecks and understand where teams were losing time in their workflows.

Analysis revealed teams were spending significant time resolving issues and needed more efficient SDLC processes.

With insights from Velocity, VTS improved infrastructure stability and added more test cycles to reduce rework.

Workflow improvements led to faster delivery and more consistent engineering processes across teams.

As a result, the entire engineering org now consistently maintains a Cycle Time under the company’s 48-hour threshold.

As a manager...I need to make decisions based on data and facts, and Code Climate provides exactly what we need.
