The challenge
Every team kept its own spreadsheet. Nobody could answer basic questions — who has access to production, what shipped last night, which service is degraded — without asking three people. Onboarding an engineer took a fortnight.
Our approach
We interviewed twelve engineers, mapped the eleven spreadsheets to five real objects, and designed one console around those objects. We shipped weekly behind flags, migrating one spreadsheet at a time so no team lost their workflow overnight.
