The Value Creation Team AND THE PRODUCT

At Scania we are developing a Scaled Agile framework that is inspired by SAFe. Scania’s Value Creation Teams are comparable to Agile Release Trains.

Our Value Creation Team (OAS/PDM) enables Modularisation and Product Life Cycle Management (PLM) by hosting a set of capabilities, as well as ensuring that methods and processes for these capabilities are in place. The Value Creation Team consists of around 90 people – Product Owners, Business Analysts, Business & Solution Architects, Metadata Creators, Developers, Testers and many more. 

OAS (Object And Structure tool) is Scania’s unique in-house developed proprietary metadata driven Product Data Management system. It is the core system which enables Scania’s famous and profitable modular approach when building vehicles by utilising product data, structures, configuration capabilities and support for Lifecycle Management. OAS supports multiple business areas and is used in everything from Research and Development to Sales and Marketing.
