RESULTS

Predictable delivery is not a promise. It is a measurable operating outcome.

Konya Advisory Group helps product and technology organizations strengthen execution by clarifying ownership, exposing delivery risk earlier, improving workflow, and installing repeatable release and decision systems.

The following results reflect enterprise delivery leadership performed inside complex organizations. Organization and product details have been limited where confidentiality applies.

33% → 80%+ SPRINT DELIVERY Achieved within 90 days

CASE STUDY 01

ENTERPRISE LEGAL TECHNOLOGY

33% → 80%+ SPRINT DELIVERY IN 90 DAYS

THE CHALLENGE

Two delivery squads were completing approximately 33% of planned sprint work. Competing priorities, inconsistent work readiness, unclear ownership, and late-emerging dependencies made execution difficult to predict.

WHAT CHANGED

• Strengthened work-readiness standards

• Clarified ownership across functions

• Exposed risks and dependencies earlier

• Improved planning and release cadences

• Increased leadership visibility

THE RESULT

Sprint delivery increased to more than 80% within 90 days.

47+ percentage-point increase

2.4× the original delivery rate

Greater predictability across two squads

30% → 70% ON-TIME DELIVERY Improved delivery reliability

PROVEN DELIVERY RESULTS

Two enterprise delivery transformations. Measurable improvements in execution, reliability, and speed.

CASE STUDY 02

NATIONAL BENEFITS TECHNOLOGY

30% → 70% ON-TIME DELIVERY

45 → 10 DAYS AVERAGE CYCLE TIME

THE CHALLENGE

A nationwide HSA/FSA technology organization was delivering approximately 30% of committed work on time. Average cycle time had reached approximately 45 days, limiting forecasting accuracy and delaying outcomes.

WHAT CHANGED

• Improved intake and prioritization

• Strengthened planning readiness

• Reduced excessive work in progress

• Clarified blocker and dependency ownership

• Improved leadership reporting

THE RESULT

On-time delivery increased to 70%, while average cycle time decreased to 10 days.

40 percentage-point increase

Approximately 78% cycle-time reduction

Faster, more reliable execution

CASE STUDY 03

MULTI-POD RELEASE STABILIZATION

4 PRODUCT PODS

3 RELEASE CYCLES

THE CHALLENGE

Release readiness was fragmented across four product pods. Ownership was unclear, QA risks surfaced late, architecture handoffs were inconsistent, and leadership lacked one reliable view of release health.

WHAT CHANGED

• Established go/no-go and code-freeze checkpoints

• Created cross-pod risk and dependency tracking

• Clarified release, QA, and decision ownership

• Coordinated defect triage and hotfix response

• Introduced architecture-review and knowledge-transfer cadences

THE RESULT

The organization gained earlier risk visibility, clearer ownership, and stronger coordination across successive releases.

Leadership received a more consistent view of release readiness, while teams had clearer escalation paths and fewer last-minute ownership gaps.

45 → 10 DAYS CYCLE TIME Reduced by approximately 78%

WHAT LEADERS EXPERIENCE

Clearer ownership. Earlier risk visibility. Better coordinated execution.
