Case Study: Snyk improves software quality and prioritizes technical debt with Stepsize

Snyk Delivers the Highest Quality Software Using Stepsize to Prioritise Technical Debt

Snyk, the fast-growing software security company, needed a better way to manage technical debt as it scaled. Their engineers were tracking maintenance work in Jira, TODOs, and Slack, but it was difficult to prioritize or bring those issues into sprint planning. Snyk turned to Stepsize Ltd and its editor extensions to make technical debt visible and easier to manage.

With Stepsize Ltd, Snyk centralized technical debt reports, discussed and created issues collaboratively, and used Jira integration plus labels to link debt to upcoming feature work. The team began dedicating 10–20% of each sprint to technical work, saved countless engineering hours, saw support tickets decrease, and improved engineer morale by ensuring technical concerns were heard and acted on.
