"The audit enabled us to catch the wave at the right time. Before, I used to pull my teams, now I push them: they have adopted the vocabulary, the priorities and are challenging each other. Stellar was able to transform our findings into a concrete action plan, combining operational benchmarking and pragmatism in the field. Without them, I'd never have managed to get the Group moving so quickly."
Stellar and Bow Medical work closely together to accelerate reorganization of Tech & Product teams
In this mission, Matthieu Pozza and Axel Colin, CPOs at Stellar, supported Pierre Touton, CEO of Bow Medical, in overhauling the product organization and building a clear roadmap aligned with business priorities.
Mission
Bow Medical develops specialized anesthesia and intensive care software solutions, designed to improve the quality and safety of critical care patient management. Present in the majority of French university hospitals, the company equips over 500 establishments and 2,800 operating rooms. With 70 employees, the company is pursuing its international expansion, with the ambition of consolidating its leadership in Southern Europe and exploring new offers based on medical data.
Tangible Results
and an organization realigned around value and performance
Stellar's support has enabled Bow Medical to increase the reliability of its deliveries, refocus its teams on business value, and strengthen the adoption of its innovations.
- Product reorganization: structuring the team around three customer centers to better address needs in the field.
- Stabilized roadmap rhythm: two major releases a year, each preceded by a collective alignment ritual.
- Multiplied adoption: 5x greater use of new functionalities thanks to prioritization focused on user value.
- Controlled migration: gradual transition to a web architecture with no business disruption.
#1 Limited adoption of new features
Some new features were only 10% used, revealing a lack of alignment between users' perceived value and Delivery's priorities.
Value-based product management
Stellar helped Bow Medical to structure an approach centered on business needs and to refocus Roadmaps around key uses, multiplying the adoption of new Features fivefold.
#2 Quality undermined by accelerating releases
Moving from 1 to 3 versions per year had improved the pace, but generated 20% more regressions, impacting reliability.
Controlled rhythm and alignment rituals
The introduction of two major annual releases, each prepared by a week of synchronization, has stabilized Delivery and involved all teams in planning.
