After optimizing our art pipeline, we still hit major delays at implementation and testing - where art first meets other departments. We ran a “live-like” version with balanced scope and found only 10% of near-final skins reached master after three sprints. By improving daily routines and cross-team interaction, we reached ~8.5 merged branches per version, reduced bugs to 0.75 per branch over six months, and kept average test time at ~1.1 weeks.
