Eli Lilly implemented Veeva Vault RIM with an initial focus on streamlining CMC post-approval submissions. The top pharma company used the traditional waterfall method to manage its first two releases but quickly realized the need to deliver more capabilities and business value at greater speed.

The faster release cadence allowed them to address new user needs sooner while sticking to set milestone dates. In parallel, Lilly established Discovery Action Teams to define and refine the capabilities in each release cycle.
