ATLAS captivates and connects exercisers, and gives Precor customers new tools to manage their businesses. By delivering experiences that bond people, places, and partner services, the ATLAS platform will be the catalyst for a fitter world.

Program Roadmap – Holistic view of Software, Hardware and Operations

Modified RACI applied to Multi-Level planning

Points of Passion • We’re a business, not a SW release company • Agile = Agility! • Scrum/Waterfall/Kanban • Permission to Experiment • OK to “Pivot” (i.e. roadmap changes) • Fixed v Variable • Process serves people/product, not the other way around • Make SW predictable, then focus on operations

Five Levels of Planning still survives • Vision is still accurate (almost 4 years) • Roadmap: 2x per year + reconciliations • Release Plans include fixed and variable features • Three week Sprints (moved from 2 weeks) • Not all teams use Scrum • Weekly • Meta Scrum • Platform Definition • Go To Market • Daily • Bug Triage • Stand-up

PRECOR Creed I desire a life without limits. I believe fitness is key to living the life I desire. I believe in the power of the human spirit. I believe the human body is an amazing thing. I believe tomorrow will be even better because of what I do today. I believe in the importance of doing things right versus first. I believe in mutual respect and the overwhelming returns of sharing. I am the heart and soul of Precor.
