Agile Operating Model Implementation

iwow led the implementation of a global operating model built on agile and lean principles in the Data & Analytics and Enterprise AI area — establishing two Agile Release Trains, ten cross-functional DevOps teams, and a PI planning approach that shifted the organisation from waterfall budgeting to capacity-funding.

Manufacturing Company — Agile Operating Model
Key Outcomes
2 Agile Release Trains Established

Two ARTs set up covering the Data & Analytics and Enterprise AI domains, aligning business and IT stakeholders in a shared delivery cadence.

10 Cross-Functional DevOps Teams

Ten DevOps teams established with clear roles, end-to-end ownership, and a shared operating framework spanning business and IT.

Waterfall to Capacity Funding

Budget planning model shifted from waterfall-style project funding to capacity-based funding, enabling continuous prioritisation and flow.

Challenge

The client faced significant challenges with their governance and delivery model in the Data & Analytics and Enterprise AI space. They had unclear roles and responsibilities, lacked defined end-to-end processes, and operated with a fragmented stakeholder community — resulting in slow, unpredictable delivery and misalignment between business needs and IT priorities.
