Case Study: Scrum.org achieves 150% more frequent software delivery with LRN Corporation

LRN Transitions to Scrum to Deliver More Value With Its “scrum Loaded” Initiative

LRN Corporation, a provider of ethics and compliance software and advisory services, faced an internal challenge with its software development process for its own products. Their teams inconsistently mixed waterfall and Scrum methodologies, leading to infrequent, low-quality releases, lengthy documentation, and security vulnerabilities. The organization lacked a regular cadence for delivering "Done" product increments and sought to become more agile to better serve its customers.

To address this, LRN Corporation implemented its own "Scrum-Loaded" initiative, a comprehensive shift to a true Scrum framework. Key changes included forming cross-functional Scrum teams, transitioning project managers to Scrum Masters, establishing a consistent two-week sprint cadence, and empowering Product Owners. The solution focused on a strict Definition of "Done" and utilizing all Scrum events properly. As a result, LRN Corporation achieved a 150% increase in the frequency of software deliveries and a 200% year-over-year increase in delivered business value, all while eliminating new security vulnerabilities.
