RADTAC Agile Transformation Services at Norwich and Peterborough Building Society
Norwich and Peterborough Building Society has selected RADTAC to provide Consulting and Training Services to introduce Agile methods within NPBS’s IT project lifecycle and processes.
Richard Kent, Head of IT Solutions for Norwich and Peterborough Building Society (N&P) said “At N&P, IT has a good track record of delivering successful projects to our business. We want to ensure that we maintain that quality and stay ahead of the game.”
RADTAC is providing a small team of experienced Agile Practitioners to work alongside N&P Business and IT personnel to provide Agile Training and Consulting - to introduce Agile alongside the existing N&P project lifecycle and processes, and enable N&P to deliver Agile-based projects to their business.
Jenine Thorne is Head of Project Management and QA for IT Solutions at N&P. Jenine says “After careful evaluation we chose to work with RADTAC because they offered a pragmatic approach that enables us to understand and introduce Agile methods that work within the practical realities of our existing project delivery processes.”
RADTAC initially delivered a short “Agile Readiness Assessment” to N&P that identified, discussed and agreed the implications and the route to Agile at N&P. This enabled N&P to take a measured view when making their decision and to agree the way forward.
