Abstract

In large enterprises, it is not trivial to establish new procedures in a standardized manner. We show how agile procedures are becoming step by step state of the art in different business areas of Volkswagen AG. A key point is that all want to improve the same with agile methods, but all demand different instantiations of agile methods to reach them. Business acceleration is the paradigm, but in a different business environment with different “business rules” – some have to be more innovative while others have to fit to more or new standards and regulations in the near future etc. We show an approach to support these different means of business acceleration with agile methods and we try to figure out some generic aspects of the acceleration journey.
