From spec to shipped: automating the full feature delivery lifecycle

Ona's engineering team has streamlined the feature delivery process by leveraging automation to minimize manual work and improve efficiency. Traditionally, feature delivery involves a lengthy cycle with multiple handoffs, leading to delays not due to coding complexity but due to procedural bottlenecks. Ona addresses this by utilizing an AI-driven interactive agent that transforms feature specifications into structured plans, auto-generates projects with tickets and dependencies, and executes tasks sequentially. This process reduces context-switching and manual ticket creation, allowing engineers to focus on judgment-based decisions. Ona Automations further enhance efficiency by handling pull request formatting, conducting automated code reviews, and enforcing quality checks, which ensures consistent standards and reduces the need for human intervention until critical decision points. This approach has significantly increased productivity, as evidenced by Ona's engineering team achieving 10.8 pull requests per engineer per week, and paves the way for future autonomous backlog execution.
