Project History

Central Identity Management

Achieved 100% milestones with a 38% margin when our objective was 30%. Led the agile transformation from Scrum to SAFe without impacting the delivery. Integrated a multidisciplinary team spread in three locations: Manila, Rotkreuz, and Barcelona.

Central Identity Management is a centralized login for all Roche laboratories and applications. Using pioneer technologies like Docker or Kubernetes, the team implemented a solution for all Roche labs around the world, providing a high-quality code system securing ISO 13485 and creating a unique automatic process for generating documentation that was then spread throughout the organization.

3D Benchmarking Team

Increased the number of delivered parts from 400/week to 1,400/week. Decreased the number of lead shipping days from 28 to 8. Saved more than 25% of costs without impact on the delivery in a $9 million project with 20+ resources in two locations.

The 3D Benchmarking team was accountable for printing the most challenging parts with different purposes:
• Enable sales: In the last stage of the sale process, customers send us their tricky parts to test our technology.
• Marketing: Printing the most accurate parts, providing the best L&F parts with the maximum mechanical properties, and exposing them around the world.
• Backup printing: Whenever a customer's printer is down, we print their parts until the technical team resolves their issues.
• Investigation: Providing parts to the internal team to test our own technology.

Comlab Transformation

Migrated an old-fashioned app to a new tool, adding new requirements and functionalities. Transformed a team that used to work on the Waterfall model to become an effective Agile team. Reached 100% milestones, accomplishing all defined SLAs.

Comlab used radiofrequency technology to provide trains and tunnels with the necessary sensors for good train function. Getting the management tool ready to work with alarms, modules, and submodules was challenging for the team, especially because the tree view had to handle hundreds of thousands of sensors.

Roche Infinity Product Care

Increased from 15 bugs/month to 22 bugs/month with the same resources, raising the monthly invoicing to 146%. Became one of the reference teams within the product as an important asset for the IPM's (international project manager) future decisions.

The product care team is the maintenance team for the largest Roche software product, Infinity. The Scrum team delivers service patches and hotfixes depending on the severity and the urgency of every lab, knowing that these fixes could impact patient lives. In the beginning, the team was releasing three hotfixes/month when it was not really necessary. We gained recognition and became a more powerful team in terms of decision-making.
