The challenge
What needed to change
Desjardins delivery teams needed Azure DevOps pipelines that made releases more consistent. Without clear stages, checks, and ownership, shipping stayed dependent on tribal knowledge and ad-hoc steps. The risk was slow or fragile releases that only a few people could run safely.
Our solution
How we approached it
In 2023, Kavora helped stand up Azure DevOps pipeline structure around the delivery path those teams actually used: build, validation, and release stages that could be reviewed and repeated. The work focused on making the pipeline operable for internal owners rather than leaving a one-off script that only the consultant understood.
