| Popis: | Petrobras is Brazil’s largest publicly-held company, operating in the oil, natural gas, and energy industry. Internal efforts enabled Petrobras to identify Digital Transformation (DT) opportunities to further promote their operational excellence. While addressing these opportunities typically requires Research and Development (RD (ii) parallel technical feasibility assessment and conception phases, allowing to ‘fail fast’; (iii) scrum-based development management; and (iv) strategically aligned continuous experimentation to test business hypotheses. We report on first experiences of applying Lean R&D in practice. [Results] Lean R&D enabled addressing research-related uncertainties early and to efficiently deliver valuable MVPs within fast-paced four months cycles. [Conclusions] In our first experiences Lean R&D showed itself suitable for supporting DT initiatives. However, more formal case studies are needed. The business strategy alignment and the continuous support of a highly qualified research team were considered key success factors. |
