Scrum: Disrupting the Automotive Industry
Old-thought manufacturing teams gather requirements, design the solution, build it, test it, then finally deliver it to market. Today, in some automotive companies, the design portion can take three to twelve years followed by a build cycle of five to fourteen years. This means it is possible to buy a brand new car representing a team’s understanding of the customer’s needs twenty-four years ago!
Using the Scrum framework, Joe Justice founded Team Wikispeed, enabling a completely different pace of development. This all-Scrum volunteer-based, “green” automotive prototyping company, iterates an entire car every seven days. Learn how they use Scrum with Lean production methodologies to compress the whole development cycle into a one-week “sprint.”
