?? Case Study: Implementing PMI Disciplined Agile? at Whirlpool Corp. ??
Whirlpool Corp. embarked on a transformative journey in 2021 to integrate PMI Disciplined Agile? (DA) methodologies into their global manufacturing processes. Initially piloted with four regional teams, the approach led to notable improvements: a 30% reduction in time to market and a 20% boost in team morale.
In 2022, Whirlpool expanded the DA framework, training 80 project managers and preparing for a broader rollout. This involved developing new tools, outlining roles, and fostering collaboration across teams. The initiative aimed to enhance quality, speed, and engagement in product development.
Key Results:
- Latin America: Utilized virtual reality for decision-making and accelerated communication.
- Asia North: Adopted Kanban and MoSCoW prioritization, improving cross-regional coordination.
- North America: Streamlined planning and execution, reducing overengineering and expediting capital release.
Lessons Learned:
- Start with existing practices and adapt incrementally.
- Engage all levels of the organization in the change process.
This approach not only refined Whirlpool’s product development but also set a benchmark for future teams.
