Support
Release scope
finalization
In each release, parts of the functional scope are addressed in specific 4-week
cycles with iterative elaboration, construction and testing
Go-Live
Pega SmartBPM™ Helps Us to Combine
Best of Both – Traditional and Agile
11
We replaced the SmartBPM
Inception phase with release
pre-study to align with
Swedbank’s methodology
Objectives:
– Define the scope for
next release and finalize
architectural approaches
– Create estimates for all work
included in the release
– Define a project plan for
the next release
In the Elaboration phase,
requirements and use cases
are made design-ready
Main tasks:
– Conduct DCO sessions with
Pega technical & functional
architects, Business & IT SMEs
– Use case documentation
– Handover of agreed
requirements to development
and test
– Final sign-off of use cases
with business
Iteratively build and unit test the
application in construction
Show & tell sessions together
with Business/IT SMEs to obtain
early feedback
Integration design & implementation
Bi-weekly deployment of built
functionality to ST and SIT testing
Final verification takes place in the
Transition phase, including:
– Final Integration testing
– Regression testing
– Performance testing
– Business acceptance test, BAT
Common release testing
follows BAT to ensure alignment
with other deliveries in the same
bank-wide release
Current delivery cycle is 6-8 months with the aim to reduce it to 3-4 months
12. Main Challenges Faced –
and How We Have Mastered Them
12
Challenge
Mainframe Legacy
Other Initiatives
People Aspect
MitigationsDescription of Challenge
Implicitly defined business logic
Point-to-point integrations
Different delivery teams
Motivation of end-users to adapt to the
new system
Bank-wide acceptance of requirements
and solution
Sync with other initiatives ongoing
at Swedbank
Consolidation of end-to-end requirements
Alignment of time plans
Mainframe systems turned into service providers
Business logic extracted and managed on the
Pega process layer
Legacy functionality isolated to complement the
new platform
Representatives from different departments
included throughout the development cycle
Program run as a bank initiative, not as a
standard buyer/seller set-up
Continuous dependency mapping
Sync around capabilities and requirements
already ensured during pre-study
