Mastercam Enhances Efficiency and Decision-Making with Digital.ai Agility

Mastercam, a pioneer in PC-based CAD/CAM solutions, has continually evolved to meet the demands of a rapidly changing manufacturing landscape. With clients ranging from industry giants to small-scale enterprises, Mastercam’s commitment to precision and productivity has been unwavering over its 40-year history.
Waterfall Project Management Hinders Progress
As Mastercam experienced exponential growth, its traditional waterfall project management approach proved inadequate. Lengthy lead times, software quality issues, and a lack of timely feedback jeopardized development cycles. The need to be agile became apparent.
Transition to Agile with Digital.ai Agility
Mastercam first embarked on an Agile transformation around 2010, and within a year or two, they had fully adopted it throughout the product side of the business. When Scrum and Release Process Manager Mike Crivello inherited that infrastructure in 2017, he aimed to grow, evolve, and refine Mastercam’s Agile processes with the help of Digital.ai Agility – recognizing the tool’s user-friendly interface and comprehensive feature set.
