Case Study: BMW accelerates agile software transformation with Valtech’s LeSS methodology

BMW scales agile software with Valtech across 50-person pilot and biweekly delivery

BMW, a leading luxury vehicle manufacturer, faced the industry challenge of transitioning from traditional automotive manufacturing to becoming a competitive software-driven tech company, particularly in the complex field of autonomous driving. To manage this large-scale shift and avoid being relegated to a hardware commodity, BMW partnered with vendor Valtech to adopt an agile transformation using the Large Scale Scrum (LeSS) framework.

Valtech implemented the LeSS framework at BMW, beginning with a pilot group and providing comprehensive training, technical coaching in practices like clean code, and organizational change management. This enabled traditional engineering teams to embrace a software mindset and deliver working software biweekly. The solution successfully scaled across departments, revolutionizing BMW's operations and significantly strengthening its competitive advantage in the new mobility experience economy.
