VistaPrint is the go-to marketing company for small businesses. The company performed some analysis of their existing waterfall methodology and found that teams were taking more than 60 days to move from the “ideation phase” to product delivery! The 60-day cycle only amounted to 40 hours of actual work!
The company looked further into why this was the case, it transpired that unclear decisions and long creative lead times were to blame, all of which resulted in feedback loops. Round and round it went!
VistaPrint decided to switch to Agile practices with a focus on decreasing project lead time. By introducing daily stand-ups, Kanban Boards and idea pipelines, VistaPrint was able to optimise their business processes and saw their Lead Time decrease from 40 days down to 15!
