PROGRAM AND PROJECT MANAGEMENT

Edward Berard famously once said “Walking on water and developing software from a specification are easy if both are frozen.”

Unfortunately given the fast-paced nature of transformation in the Banking industry, software development processes have been warped to save time. Whether your process is agile, waterfall or a mix of both; whether you are writing traditional requirements or agile user stories, detailed specifications go a long way in determining success of any program.

Commercial Banking projects are unique in nature. The complexity of these programs combined with the scale and customer criticality increases the difficulty of these projects significantly. The use of generalist contingent labor has dominated project management at banks for too long. While this might work for less complex projects, the lack of domain knowledge, too much focus on operational project management processes and activity/status driven approaches do not work for Commercial Banking projects. Banks that successfully manage and deliver Commercial Banking projects are those that empower project managers to challenge internal processes and drive decision making.

Go-Live Faster partners with Bank product and technology teams to understand business objectives, define customer journeys and experience. Using these high-level documents, the Go-Live Faster business analyst teams create measurable, traceable, consistent, detailed and mutually agreeable business requirements, epics, user stories and technical specifications. When required, we also help Banks detail out Business, Enterprise, and Solution Architecture.
