Pipeline Audits

Pipeline Signal Audit

A focused review of build, test, and deploy signals so your team can see where risk hides before it ships.

We trace how commits move through your automation, where approvals stall, and which checks are noisy versus meaningful. The output is a ranked backlog of pipeline changes with effort bands and expected reliability gains.

Duration: 10 business days · Format: Remote workshops + written brief

From 480,000 HUF (informational, excluding VAT where applicable)

FAQ

Do you need production access?

Hover or focus to reveal

Read-only access to CI metadata is enough for most audits. Production access is optional and scoped only when we validate runtime gates.

Which tools are supported?

Hover or focus to reveal

We stay vendor-neutral: GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, Jenkins, Buildkite, CircleCI, and Azure DevOps are common. Obscure plugins may require extra discovery time.

What is not included?

Hover or focus to reveal

We do not rewrite application code or migrate cloud accounts inside this audit. Those are separate implementation sprints.

Recent notes

The Pipeline Signal Audit surfaced three redundant checks that slowed every merge. The heatmap made prioritisation obvious for our next sprint.

We expected slides; we received an operational backlog with owners. The activity log template is now part of our release retro.
