Case Study: Sun Microsystems increases team productivity and scales Scrum adoption with CollabNet VersionOne (ScrumWorks Pro)

Sun Microsystems - Customer Case Study

Sun Microsystems’ Network.com platform engineering team faced rapidly changing market conditions that made traditional waterfall development ineffective. To create stability amid volatility, the team adopted Scrum—using two-week sprints to enable continuous inspection and adaptation—and set out to shift practices without major organizational upheaval.

They trained senior staff, deployed ScrumWorks Pro inside Sun’s infrastructure, and used a sandbox to onboard users quickly; the tool’s intuitive interface and strong reporting (velocity, requirement-change and feature addition rates) supported transparency and stakeholder access. Within three months (six sprints) productivity rose, the subscription was expanded to 200 internal users, and the team reported smoother adoption with no major cultural or administrative changes.
