Gocious aids AGCO in its mission to help farmers feed the world through product roadmap innovation

"Gocious has transcended the role of a mere product management tool for AGCO. They’re a critical partner in our journey to success."

• AGCO is developing multi-year, multi-volume products for the next generation of farmers, but has been relying on legacy static systems, such as spreadsheets and presentation files, to organize complex and dynamic product roadmaps. Brand owners, instead of regional management within AGCO, were beginning to own more of their global business lines, creating complexity for multiple product teams. Unable to handle this level of complexity, as well as the constant changes, the static systems led to internal processes becoming significantly slowed down, creating countless hours of unnecessary administrative work that had teams across the company spending more time on updating documents, tracking down statuses, and logging information manually.
  
• The growing complexity of AGCO’s product offerings with modular interdependencies and the integration of different technologies meant product, engineering, and other teams needed real-time details to help increase cooperation and output. AGCO was looking to get better at bringing products to market by turning strategic plans into visualizations based on customer needs.
  
• Product teams across numerous in-house global brands were seeking cross-modularity to be more efficient at delivering new products that meet farmers’ evolving and dynamic demands. AGCO was searching for a partner to create a scalable solution that supports their globally distributed business in real-time.

• AGCO sought out a partner that would rise to the challenge of embracing the company’s mission to support farmers across the globe. Gocious equally embraced ACGO’s mission and helped create a custom, flexible, and comprehensive platform that combines cloud-based solutions with an agile ethos, culminating in the ultimate product roadmap management solution. Rather than rely on multiple documents and spreadsheets,
  Product Management teams now utilize a single source of truth for real-time updates around multi-year product plans.
  
• Leveraging Gocious Product Roadmap Software, AGCO now has the needed tools, organization, and agility to accomplish their greater business goals and forecast product portfolio outcomes. Gocious helped AGCO spend less time on project management tasks, like updating status reports and spreadsheets, and more time focusing on product development, creativity and addressing customer needs.

We were invested in AGCO’s mission and wanted to provide a unique solution that equipped product teams with all the capabilities needed to make a difference.

By understanding their challenges and relaying feedback in real-time, we pledged to help problem-solve solutions for AGCO’s portfolio management needs throughout the entire onboarding process.

By taking the time to study AGCO’s goals, we aimed to ensure our solutions brought value to all product teams and decision-makers. We truly believe in AGCO’s core mission. When AGCO succeeds, their customers succeed.”

• AGCO now has a single source of truth for all product and development data that is shared across the entire global company. This helped product, engineering, finance, and other teams become less mired in tedious tasks and align their work with AGCO’s widerbusiness goals.
• AGCO now provides real-time status updates, giving stakeholders visibility into many product lifecycles, and offers teams actionable insights to focus on evaluating new ideas, leading to expanded market opportunities.
• Product roadmap visualizations are generated automatically, giving management visibility into five to ten-year roadmaps with one-click. AGCO brands and teams can now show inter-dependencies on shared components and can execute more clearly their goal to help farmers feed the world.
  
• AGCO has accelerated its migration to the Scaled Agile Framework, supercharging the firm’s digital transformation with Gocious' product roadmap innovation.
• Teams across the organization who are impacted by product changes, such as sales, customer success, and engineering, find collaboration significantly easier thanks to Gocious’ snapshot view, cutting update times from weeks to seconds.
• AGCO's Product Teams have shifted from a project-based mindset to a product-based mindset. They now have a holistic view of the product vision and can focus on building products farmers want. AGCO's focus has shifted toward innovation and away from logistical support and resource management.

Gocious has transcended the role of a mere product management tool for AGCO. We now have an environment that gives a 360-degree view of the entire AGCO product portfolio, can capture visuals and helps make decision-making easier.

Our teams communicate more effectively, report to management more clearly, and engage ideas more thoughtfully.

Gocious has helped modernize our approach and is infinitely better than PowerPoint and other legacy systems we’ve relied on in the past. We no longer spend time worrying about project management tasks that would slow us down.

We can now focus on doing product management, setting our vision, and strategically planning the next generation of products.

We couldn't have wished for a more exceptional partner to help us accomplish our goal to help farmers feed the world!”
