Ford Motor Credit Company Standardizes Development Methodology on IBM Rational Unified Process

Overview Ford Motor Credit Company IT wanted a consistent software development process. Each project team used its own methodology, making it difficult to share project deliverables, allocate staff, and communicate across geographically distributed teams. These processes offered little support for development and often resulted in late identification of project risks. The company adopted IBM Rational Unified Process and customized it. The IT department also established a coaching program to provide training and guidance to project teams. Ford Motor Credit IT now identifies and addresses project risk much earlier in the development process.
