Biobase is a digital product that helps scientists during the drug development process to have easy access to the relevant data. It links the data from different data sources form different product stages (development, production, etc.) via harmonization to a combined data set. This data is/will be made available with the corresponding analyses and graphs.
The product is developed along a roadmap with different use cases that reflect the corresponding needs in the relevant business departments.
The overall goal is to make all the existing data available to reduce the effort of collecting the data and creating the analyses and to make analyses possible that were not possible in the past to generate additional knowledge in development and production of biological drugs.

The product is being developed in SCRUM, with a dedicated Scrum Master and a Product Owner. We have an three week Sprint in which the team member work self-organized and collaborative, with the following ceremonies:
1. Daily standup, 15 to 30 mins every week day, starting at 09:30 in the daily standup, all team members provide an update on the progress, ask for collaboration and gives information.
