Supporting the Delivery of a Bank’s Digital Initiatives With Augmented Squads

Finance and Banking

Challenge

This client was looking to increase their velocity. As a result, Endava supplied an augmented delivery team to work with the bank’s backend development department. The Endava team members were chosen for their specialisations in authentication, testing and content migration.

Outcome

Together, the teams have worked on a number of different engagements, including optimising the client’s existing code base, developing new products and features, but most importantly, migrating from deprecated technology and standing up a new infrastructure.

As one of the "big four" banks, servicing 15.9 million customers and employing 48,900 people with over 800,000 shareholders, this bank, offers a full range of financial services to help secure and enhance the financial wellbeing of Australia’s people, businesses, and communities.

The collaboration’s primary purpose was to increase the bank’s velocity.

Working side-by-side

The teams conducted the discovery of existing systems and integrations as a single unit. Facilitating workshops to understand the project objectives and scope, run daily and weekly ceremonies to track progress and share insights, and maintained consistent communication throughout the day-to-day.

The result has been a positive relationship that will continue for the foreseeable future and has led to transformative work that will positively affect both the bank and the banking industry.
