Volkswagen R&D worked with Red Hat Open Innovation Labs to develop an ambitious and innovative platform for virtualized testing and integration of car software functions. Cutting-edge innovations are transformational and bring substantial business benefits. Yet, transformational potential requires deep changes in organization, processes, and infrastructure architecture. The use of cloud and hybrid cloud scenarios assessment made changes even more challenging for established approaches and ways of working.
In this session, we'll share the key challenges faced on the path to production:
- Scaling product development from one to multiple, cross-functional teams with a common backlog.
- Aligning ways of working, sprint cadences, and architecture across distributed independent (partner and subsidiary) teams building generic components for multiple products.
- Identification of implications and aligning R&D ambitions with group IT reality.
- On-premise vs. public cloud decision making—scenarios and fit/gap analysis and fit-for-purpose assessment.
- Development of a new blueprint and creating a new corporate standard solution to serve more products.
- Establishing a new blueprint using existing solutions and products.
