The team

Stellar and Diogen, working hand in hand to accelerate growth.

To support this strategic overhaul, David, an expert in Product Strategy, and Alex, CPO at Stellar, carried out a complete audit of the product organization and collaboration methods, in order to anchor Diogen's transition to a true software publisher.

Mission

Diogen's mission is to digitize drilling-mining operations and optimize quarry management for players in the sector.

Thanks to its business software (CAD, GIS and mobile field application) Diogen supports technical teams in planning, monitoring and executing operations, while opening up internationally with a software publisher model.

Objectives

Your growth doesn't rely solely on Marketing and Sales.

A product that doesn't deliver on its promises is doomed to failure, even with the best marketing and sales people:

Challenge

From Problem to Solution: How Diogen overcame its challenges

Diogen faced a number of challenges that hampered its growth and development. Here's how Stellar helped them overcome these obstacles to accelerate their growth and achieve their goals.

#1 Systematically missed deadlines

Delays of up to 6 months on key functionalities slowed product launches and undermined internal confidence.

Accelerated delivery

Deployments are now carried out on a weekly basis, by autonomous squads and a better connection with users.

#2 A complex switch to an editor model

Focused on internal feedback, product choices were biased. The vision remained that of an internal IT department, hindering the opening up to a wider market and to real external users.

User orientation and repositioning

Clarification of targets, strategic refocusing on high-potential business use cases, and creation of a first user-oriented team to anchor ourselves in a publisher logic.

#3 Too broad a product portfolio for the team

Four projects running in parallel overloaded a small team, creating interdependencies and diluting efforts, to the detriment of business impact.

Strategic refocusing

Reprioritizing efforts around the most promising products, with a simplified Go-To-Market strategy and better allocation of resources to key uses.

Results

Tangible results:
Accelerated delivery and a totally reorganized product team.

Stellar's support has led to significant improvements for Diogen, both in terms of internal productivity and product structuring, laying the foundations for sustainable growth.

  • Reduced delivery times: from a monthly cycle to several deployments per week, enabling us to deliver a strategic product more than 6 months ahead of schedule.
  • Product refocusing on strategic priorities: clarification of priority use cases and simplification of the portfolio to maximize the impact of developments.
  • Remobilizing teams and COMEX: restoring internal confidence thanks to a clearer organization, aligned product discourse and concrete actions.
