Case Study: Cars.com achieves enterprise-wide agile transformation and faster delivery with CollabNet VersionOne

Cars.com - Customer Case Study

Cars.com, a leading online destination for car shoppers, launched an enterprise-wide agile conversion in 2010 to shorten delivery cycles, increase customer value, and boost employee satisfaction. The initiative shifted the company from a project-focused to a product-focused culture and aimed to embed agile practices across the organization.

Cars.com used a three-phase, thoughtful rollout driven by an agile core team, an external coach, and Communities of Practice; it spun up 12 dedicated product teams, formed an agile working team for continuous improvement, and adopted VersionOne to manage distributed work and cross-team visibility. The result: faster, more transparent delivery with better backlog management and real-time reporting, energized departments, stronger leadership visibility, and ongoing continuous-improvement practices.
