Cars.com's Agility Transformation Journey
Cars.com, a division of Classified Ventures LLC, was launched in June, 1998. It is the leading destination for online car shoppers, visited by more than 10 million people each month, and excels at putting car buyers in control of their shopping process by providing the information they need to make confident buying decisions. To further fuel its success, Cars.com ventured into an enterprise transformation focused on greater organizational health and agility. The enterprise transformation involved product management, project management, product engineering, user experience, enterprise architecture, operations, infrastructure, and oversight. This session will showcase the transformation experience from all of these perspectives. Si and Len will share a transformation roadmap and specific actionable lessons learned that you can leverage in your own transformation. They will also address any questions you may have on the topic. If you are considering a transformation journey with agility, you don’t want to miss this session!
