Value results
| Category | Value result |

| Capability | Product lifecycle data can be reviewed without waiting on a personal export |
Story
Inside Garmin, change control used to depend on whoever still had the latest file. That pattern is common in consumer discretionary groups working out of the United States. Engineering and quality needed a system that would still make sense after the original project team moved on.
Garmin uses Fusion Compiler from Synopsys as the working layer for product lifecycle data. Synopsys provides electronic design automation and software integrity tools used by semiconductor and software engineering teams. The practical change is simple: change control has a home, and reviews happen there instead of in a forwarded thread.
Nothing in this writeup invents a savings number. What Garmin gets from Synopsys is a durable place to run change control and a way for engineering and quality to see the same product lifecycle data at the same time.
