Introduction
The client’s business banking platform was at the mature life cycle stage. Updating it required significant changes to the software development practices traditionally employed. These covered the development approach, replacing waterfall with agile, and the approach to business-IT collaboration. The programme called for a cultural realignment between the stakeholders as well as changes of practice by the business, QA, and IT personnel.
