AutoVIN Projects Saving $800,000 in Overhead Costs by Implementing Agile and Rally
When Darren Shipp, Vice President of Software Development, arrived at AutoVIN he found a mix of development methodologies being used by the development team. While the company put out weekly releases, the releases were ad-hoc and not related to a larger strategic vision for the product. In addition, with no defined product backlog, customer requests were not always top-of-mind and sometimes needed to be completed at the last-minute. This environment made it difficult for the development team to be as effective as they could be and frustrated customers who wanted defined predictable releases. It was clear that a new software development practice was required.
