Slow sprint delivery: Stories take longer than estimated, sprints consistently roll over
High defect leakage: Bugs escape to production, requiring emergency fixes
Low deployment frequency: Releases happen monthly (or less) instead of weekly
Manual or slow testing: QA becomes the bottleneck, regression testing takes weeks
Delivery decisions made without data: No visibility into what's actually blocking progress
Delayed product releases: Features ship months behind schedule, missing market windows
Unpredictable capacity: Can't reliably forecast delivery timelines for roadmap planning
