github enterprise industry automotive number of developers 9 000 location detroit mi problem ford teams were separated by their organizational structures and using legacy tools and processes that few outside the company were familiar with solution now developers can access code from throughout the organization and employees are able to work together on new products and make the most out of existing solutions without the need to learn unfamiliar tools products github enterprise in 1913 the ford motor company pioneered the assembly line reducing the time to build a complete automobile from 12 hours to 30 minutes with this innovation in mass production ford s history became automotive history and the company kicked off a revolution in manufacturing how the product is produced is more ingenious than its individual parts it s not surprising that we often see today s cars as the result of artfully manufactured hardware but the industry has fundamentally changed over the last few decades behind each part are complex software systems navigation interfaces pressure sensors customer service applications which have steadily become the core of ford s business by leveraging technology and evolving with the pace of their industry ford has earned a reputation as one of the country s most trusted mobility companies they ve transformed the way they build software to become a key player in the era of smart vehicles many groups at ford have been building software for decades but in that time each came up with its own solution every group did something different said florian frischmuth chief engineer architecture and software platform the status quo worked when there wasn t a need for groups to interact with each other he said as we expanded the development of more complex features we saw the need to work differently that s when we discovered github to evaluate github against other tools frischmuth noted ford formed a small but knowledgeable team to work with stakeholders across the company software processes and tools supervisor timothy carmean sits on product development in a newer ford department called central software back in 2014 he was researching github as a way to modernize how the team developed infotainment systems at ford the legacy stack included tools like clearcase but nobody really knew how to use that outside of the company they needed a modern tool chain carmean admitted most people that are learning git are doing it through github and open source the teams evaluated a handful of solutions and github came out on top its strong following among new and experienced developers was also key it s taught in school said carmean github is the largest provider of open source repositories in the industry and people graduating from college know how to use it which was one of the most important reasons we brought it in the widespread knowledge of github among ford engineers sped up adoption and ultimately reduced onboarding time to a few days once they chose github the team started small ford s first instance of github enterprise began in a lab but gained traction from there carmean s original goal was to support 100 developers but their instance grew quickly and organically by word of mouth the company now has 9 000 employees on the platform and this number is only increasing at the time ford started using github it was developing a code base on a server underneath a professor s desk it was somewhat of a git hosting platform said carmean and it was critical intellectual property so we knew we had to get it out of there carmean held weekly meetings with the cio to provide github status updates until its enterprise instance launched in september 2016 now we ve got over 9 000 employees using it around the world including germany england turkey india china australia brazil mexico and the united states both frischmuth and carmean appreciate the benefits of one standardized tool set making a vast company all working on different systems feel more connected carmean worked with the it team to create a software development ecosystem everyone could work with supported by github jira jenkins vagrant docker and nexus our core philosophy is that no matter what software you re working on these tools are useful and github is at the center driving everything when tasked with taking on a more agile workflow ford engineers needed to evolve their workflows beyond the assembly line system that originated in the manufacturing industry the way cars are built has fundamentally changed ford s software processes needed to change too we had to work in a coherent and collaborative fashion as the product we created grew much more complex frischmuth explained a car has hundreds of sensors they re not all connected but in order to create more features you need to build on these sensors you need to work together make your repository public then let people use it open pull requests and have conversations about it these features make the platform powerful as teams move further away from their outdated waterfall workflows carmean prefers the scaled agile framework safe cars rolling off the assembly line have to be safe so we impose a greater level of discipline than many other industries by organizing around release trains the teams can ensure that the software features properly integrate and meet their thorough regulatory and safety requirements innersourcing a way of building proprietary software that leverages and learns from open source best practices is another method working inside ford while it wasn t an original objective carmean said when we started talking about code reuse we felt like we already had the perfect platform in place github tom erickson supervisor of global software tools and processes at ford also encourages his group to use innersource methods and scrums to work together across teams they can make suggestions and adopt a style of working that s more open and fits their needs he said if you want to ship higher quality software faster innersourcing just makes sense with ford s code accessible to everyone in their organization teams are no longer separated by their organizational structures instead they can work together on new code and make the most out of existing solutions our environment allows developers to find solutions that have already been developed they can collaborate on those and then reuse them said frischmuth this more open way of working has allowed developers the autonomy to follow through on new ideas enhancements fixes and more they no longer need permission to create a repository or offer up a suggestion removing bottlenecks across the organization if they do need more help ford leans on github professional services erickson said we ve learned everything from how to scale our organization for real distributed repositories to how best to use jenkins we re using github for everything said carmean including slide decks hosted among github pages other internal teams have also taken an interest in github including engineering groups who conduct statistical analysis and put scripts in repositories it support has one of the more unique use cases they make pretty comprehensive use of markdown in wikis to document how things are meant to work in the next gen data center said carmean he can simply drop an issue in the repository and get answers faster than with the older bmc ticket model carmean understands the value of github to both ford and the larger open source community make your repository public then let people use it open pull requests and have conversations about it these features make the platform powerful github also helps ford find new talent erickson said it s something i look for on resumes and have our human resources team look out for too carmean added if you re doing anything open source you re doing it on github to increase our talent pool we dig into the open source projects and the tools developers use to build them carmean appreciates the time his team saves on infrastructure and spends on more pressing challenges within ford the entire github organization is managed by three people now that developers are set up for success ford is in a new and forward thinking mindset carmean explains of leveraging the open community and everything it has to offer as carmean reflected embracing open source has already reshaped how we think about the modern car interested in bringing github enterprise to your organization start your free trial of github enterprise for 30 days days
