Managing Finances in Scaled Agile Transformations: Insights from A Case Study of a German Automotive Manufacturer

Year: 2024

Type: article

Abstract: We explore how project financing processes should be adapted to accommodate changes to organizational structures, operational processes, and cultural values in scaled agile transformations. We studied the transformation project of a large German automotive manufacturer to identify the issues that emanate from the incompatibility of incumbent project financing and the mitigation strategy that allowed the company to evolve rather than revolutionize the way they manage project finances. Our findings enrich the empirical knowledge on scaled agile transformations and draw attention to the much-overlooked aspect of financing large-scale change initiatives in incumbent firms.
