The Recovery Build
Two breakages. Two recoveries. Shipped on time.
A seasonal e-commerce platform — CEM under real pressure. Two breakages, two recoveries, zero rework at close.
The Situation
Not every build is clean. This seasonal e-commerce platform — a personalized video product with a hard deadline — tested CEM's recovery mechanisms. Seven integrations. A checkout flow that broke twice. Rework swinging from 4% to 41% and back.
What This Demonstrates
Perfect builds prove nothing.
CEM's value shows when things break — and they broke twice in this build.
Recovery mechanisms contain damage.
Stop, Pause, Reset at task level. Regroup at project level. Governor prevented sprints from becoming reckless.
0% final rework is the payoff.
After two breakage events and two recovery cycles, every problem was resolved. Shipped on time.
