Meet Agile Saturday Tallinn XVI speakers Eric Reppo and Vadym Davydov (Swedbank), with a talk “Benefits of SAFe implementation in Finance sector – Swedbank user story“
Topic: Benefits of SAFe implementation in Finance sector – Swedbank user story
About the talk:
The financial sector is extremely competitive as well as highly regulated.
Banks and others in the financial sector have to change their priorities and processes very quickly.
This story takes you on an agile journey of engraining a new culture in Swedbank, including harmonization of our way of working to allow us to be even more nimble and customer-centric by adopting SAFe.
We will SAFely take you through this journey and show you all the benefits we get from the perspective of Release Train Engineer (RTE) and Product Manager (PM) roles.
