program selection system

In 2007 Kelley Blue Book (KBB) decided to move to a more robust tool to promote agility while keeping up with increasingly challenging product release plans. KBB chose VersionOne to replace SharePoint as the enterprise Scrum Tool. With KBB sharing their experience of this common situation, other companies can learn about and adopt proven techniques to ensure a successful tool migration. This paper will cover KBB’s Scrum implementation, goals of tool migration, the selection process, migration approach, and results.

This presentation will cover the:
 Prior role of SharePoint with Scrum
 Goals and approach to new tool selection, including:
- deficiencies with SharePoint for our Scrum implementation
- decision making process
- tools reviewed
 Implementation approach
 Initial results of migrating to an Agile Lifecycle tool
 Future/next steps for continuous improvement

Some key questions answered during the presentation: What were our critical factors in selecting an Agile tool? What were the key benefits gained by moving beyond SharePoint? What were the biggest challenges and how were they overcome? How is SharePoint still being used alongside VersionOne?

Audience: this presentation will be most useful for those looking to implement a more robust Scrum tool or those who are trying to determine if SharePoint will be sufficient for their organizational needs.
