Mortgage Engineering Velocity Is Declining—How to Fix It

General News

Summary

The article diagnoses a sustained decline in mortgage engineering velocity despite modern tooling, headcount increases, and CI/CD adoption. It attributes the slowdown to compounding complexity: legacy LOS customization, data debt, integration sprawl, duplicated logic, unclear ownership, and fragile change confidence. The author recommends redefining ownership (treat the LOS as system of record), moving innovation to orchestration and API layers, freezing risky areas while refactoring critical boundaries, and shifting workflows to reduce handoffs and regression anxiety. Restoring velocity requires architectural clarity and disciplined ownership rather than more hires or incremental tooling.
