Deployed 100 Developers With 40% Freelancers Across 6 Scrum Teams

In 2015, Michelin’s CTO Benoît Lamouche set out to accelerate digital transformation by building flexible, high-performing development teams. The organization needed a model that could scale capacity while maintaining strong delivery practices. It also had to operate effectively across locations in France and India. Michelin built its Digital Factory and structured delivery around Scrum. It staffed teams with a mix of employees and freelancers and distributed resources between India and France. Michelin ran long missions and typically extended them over time. Freelancers were integrated like employees, with the same onboarding approach and responsibilities. The Digital Factory grew to 100 developers. Freelancers represented 40% of the overall team and were organized into six Scrum teams. Missions were typically extended, averaging three years. The model supported Michelin’s effort to accelerate its digital transformation with flexible team capacity.
