17.15 – Going from Project to Product Management - killing projects
In 2016 Ørsted executed 78 waterfall projects in a stage gate model. In 2017 we decided to go agile and implement SAFe as our agile framework.
Today we have a bi-model set-up, working both with projects and products, stage gate and agile. We have established 7 Agile Release Trains and an SAP Shared Service. By the end of 2020 we delivered more than 65% of all IT work within our agile set-up.
Our ambition is to go full blown agile, going from projects to products within the next year.
