– Created with cplace
Tamper-proof product development
Maturity level management and regulatory compliance

One of Germany’s leading carmakers relies on cplace for transparent, tamper-proof management of its engine and transmission control module development. A cplace solution custom-developed for this purpose implements process-driven schedule and maturity level management of individual projects. The status of every test case for the respective application is mapped in every detail, and merged with all schedule dependencies to create the master project plan. Custom-tailored workflows, role and access privilege assignment systems as well as consistent reporting models ensure a well-coordinated development process among all project stakeholders.
Challenge
The company was lacking a tamper-proof IT support system enabling it to adequately reflect legal compliance requirements in connection with managing application developments. Furthermore, there was no cross-project transparency regarding schedules, levels of maturity and current project status information. At the same time, the creation of project KPIs was associated with significant manual effort, especially since KPIs were handled inconsistently between projects. Schedule dependencies on the product engineering process and other planned deadlines and actual dates had to be transferred to each project manually.
