Faced with a cumbersome and inefficient release process, Grafana Labs adopted the concept of "tiger teams" to address urgent, cross-functional challenges swiftly and effectively. Originating from NASA's Apollo 13 mission, tiger teams are temporary groups of specialists brought together to tackle high-priority issues that do not fit neatly within existing team structures. At Grafana, these teams have successfully streamlined the software release cycle by reducing manual steps and improving efficiency, with the initial Release Tiger Team serving as a significant turning point. The success of these teams has led to the formation of a dedicated unit responsible for ongoing improvements, and the approach has been used to secure major partnerships and explore new business opportunities. The use of tiger teams highlights the importance of clear goals, strategic planning, and having the right people in place to drive focused, impactful change within an organization.
