About
QA and delivery, end to end
Oleksandr Lysenko heads QA and delivery at Program-Ace, where he owns how projects are planned, tested, and shipped. His remit covers the full delivery cycle: estimation and scoping, team setup and engagement models, the software development lifecycle, quality assurance, and release. Over a decade in software delivery, he has built and led QA and delivery teams across web, mobile, and immersive projects, setting up the testing processes, automation, and release practices that keep enterprise delivery predictable. He works daily with the trade-offs that decide whether a project ships on time: which engagement model fits the client, where automated testing pays back against manual, and how to keep quality consistent across a distributed team.
