Iterate applications not just prototypes

Abstract

In 1990, Texaco launched an initiative to re-engineer its exploration and producing business processes and build an integrated information system to support those business processes. The Texaco Revitalization Initiative (TRI) was formed and divided into two major areas, Land and Gas. The Land initiative focused on the administration of properties in which Texaco has an interest. The Gas initiative focused on tracking the gas from production on a property to eventual sale to an end customer. The goal of both systems is to keep accurate volumes and prices for royalty and revenue calculations. The Land and Gas initiatives were further divided into sub-systems which could be implemented by different teams.
