--Outline--
The problem: we delivered slowly and with outages.
The solution: Instead of filling in documents, we automated.
The result: the bank’s biggest customer-facing platform is now updated with new features every single week, with no impact to our customers. We changed all this in only 16 weeks.
--Talk Description--
What does it take a large corporation to transform its delivery capability on its largest directly customer facing platform? 16 weeks, a common goal and spades of empowerment.
At the start of last year ANZ undertook an initiative called ADAPT. We had one goal: releasing our Internet Banking platform every week, during business hours, with no downtime for our customers using ANZ’s Internet Banking website and goMoney mobile apps.
This wasn’t a simple goal. Previously, our Internet Banking platform was updated only seven or eight times a year, with complete outage and significant customer impact every time. The code base is a monolith, and re-architecting it was not practical in the available time. Our processes were bureaucratic and extremely time consuming. We faced a lot of scepticism from the organisation that this was achievable at all, let alone within the time we had.
Nevertheless, we got the go ahead to try to achieve our goal.
