The customer
The automotive manufacturer's IT organization aims to align its structures with future requirements, accelerate decision-making processes, and significantly strengthen its time-to-market capabilities. The goal was to create transparency across the entire IT portfolio, stabilize teams along value streams, and establish a modern, agile control logic.
