Division is the realization of the company's business sector, an important source of income, leading products for commercial advertising, by finding the best match "user" and "advertising" to help maximize the value of media sites for traffic, improve advertiser ROI, enhance the user experience balance the interests of all parties, building a sustainable ecosystem.

Case Background

Shenzhen, a group of core businesses include manufacturing and distribution of consumer goods, real estate and related industries, infrastructure and public utilities three areas (hereinafter referred to as "HD Division"), HD business unit of 800 people, more than 200 projects each year, improvements before the traditional waterfall development, project planning version and organizational resources, project cycle an average of more than three months. When faced with the rapid development of business, the number of product lines from 10+ to 20+ bar strip needs to expand. How in the rapid development of business needs to deliver new services quickly and flexibly respond to new demands change? How to improve R & D efficiency and better coordination of R & D resources to meet the needs of more parallel product line, it is the great challenge facing the department at that time.

Until they encounter CORNERSTOEN , was completely solved the situation at that time. Customers choose CORNERSTONE post as the company's project management platform, through a new collaborative way of working products, research and development, operations and other departments brought the iterative development cycle time by two thirds, effectively improve the efficiency of research and development.

How fast break challenge?

Targeting: Division overall agile transition, in enhancing the overall efficiency of R & D division in the shortest time, product iteration speed, efficient use of resources to support the rapid development of business and the maximization of resource input and output.

Improvement ideas: the perspective of the overall project to switch from product perspective, product target driven, top-down forward, move back end to the front end Qieru La, complete transformation Division overall agility, responsiveness and enhance the efficiency of resource use new demands, achieve rapid business value delivery and resources to maximize output.

CORNERSTONE overall program:

1, the overall project perspective to switch from product perspective to create demand for the product perspective pool, a unique product for each product to determine the persons responsible for the product perspective to determine the product level version of iterations priorities by planning characteristic value, high-level bi-weekly rapid delivery of superior products demand;

2, the establishment of cross-role by product direction team, breaking the original resource pool management, alignment of each character object to improve the efficiency of resource management and the role of each goal congruence;

3, organized by product direction team for team-building and capacity-building, to enhance cross-functional teamwork skills and technical expertise, improve teamwork efficiency;

4, each character in a small particle size needs the cooperation visualization kanban parallel, each flow to enhance the efficiency requirements, reduce latency, capacity to release resources;

5, in product development and continuous integration of the code trunk, from top to bottom to promote continued integration and supporting tool chain, research and development of automated assembly line and improve efficiency;

6, front and rear end view synchronization product iterations priorities and needs, iterative simultaneous release version, the shortest cycle to deliver business value.

Break all boundaries, to establish an open and efficient collaboration system
that extends outside the business to make HD grown into a first-class company now worth billions, but in the real floor "open" process, "information collaboration" has become a major difficulty.

HD division up to more than more than 50 projects at the same time, therefore, to keep all project progress, timely and effective to control the project risks, both of which become particularly important, of course, CORNERSTONE also easily meets these two requirements.
In CORNERSTONE task list page, the progress of all projects at a glance, in which:
when a certain progress in the project to a halt, the system will be timely resources for managers to predict risk. For example, when most of the projects are focused on staying in the "not started" phase, developers may occur shortage situation, then the system will prompt.

In addition, when an item appears overdue, the system will promptly notify the manager, then the task will be displayed in red card, in a more eye-catching way to let members know the time risk.

Each task on behalf of a specific project, schedule, resources, and time node glance at the billboards.

Members collaborate across the enterprise in a single system, share visual table

HD Project Division completed almost all need to work together with external partners, HD team members can invite partners to a specific project, in collaboration unified organization system, CORNERSTONE become "where it all began teamwork." Visualized the billboards, according to the project build process task stage and members cooperate partners, can work together in all matters at all times, to know what specific things to do at each stage, who is in charge, whether complete and so on.
For example, "Communication product solutions" stage, opening the job details page interface, you can see related people to communicate with all stakeholders, important documents need to be in the task in uploading files, tables, pictures, and other items to ensure that the mandate of the communication phase remaining files.

Breaking the organizational and geographic boundaries, internal and external members of the other party at any time @ discuss key issues.

For the project set up "virtual teams" to let the organization stay agile

In order to improve the efficiency of project development, HD internal advocate the establishment of a border-free sector of virtual organizations, in order to achieve the purpose of agile and flexible deployment of resources. The CORNERSTONE exactly suitable for such break down departmental boundaries, collaboration scenario is based on a combination of free members of the project.

For the project set up "virtual teams", invited members of the product development, testing and other departments to join them.

To break the cross-sectoral collaboration barriers, the establishment of effective coordination process

Traditional task can only be issued by QQ, micro letter, nails, etc., do not know the progress of the work, verbal commitment, verbal cooperation, collaboration more messy task, flow more freely, the risk is relatively large. With " CORNERSTONE " the integration of micro-enterprise communication ports, to help the team fragmented operations, to create a mobile work platform; binding personal micro-channel, real-time dynamic touch up the project, seamless receive the message notification.
