Case Study: Cimarex Energy achieves greater visibility and productivity with CollabNet VersionOne

Cimarex Energy - Customer Case Study

Cimarex Energy, a Denver-based independent oil and gas producer, needed to implement a new company-wide production accounting and field data system while operating with a lean IT team in a highly cyclical industry. An initial data conversion failed and caused downstream corruption, revealing that a traditional waterfall project approach would be too inflexible for the unexpected issues and limited resources they faced.

Cimarex adopted Scrum and ScrumWorks Pro, using sprints, daily standups and a web task board to reprioritize work, write user stories and recover corrupted data without disrupting operations. The team restored and expanded the installation, brought a vendor partner onto Scrum, and gained better project visibility, built-in documentation for compliance, increased productivity, and improved team accountability and morale.
