Story
Consumer Discretionary work at Dick's Sporting Goods spans more than one site, even when headquarters sits in the United States. Product lifecycle data was splitting across regional habits. Engineering and quality asked for a shared way to run change control without freezing local judgment.
Cadence (Cerebrus) is what they standardized on. Cadence Design Systems supplies computational software for integrated circuit, system, and PCB design used by electronics companies. Dick's Sporting Goods uses it as the system of record for product lifecycle data, with engineering and quality as the primary operators and other groups coming in through the same queue.
Leaders get a picture they can actually walk. Teams get fewer mystery statuses. The story is about operating change, not an unpublished percentage.
