Assembling a Scrum Team for Financial Services

This case study outlines LABUR's initiative to assemble a Scrum Team for a leading Financial Services provider in 2021. The client faced significant demands for technical data work to support their business initiatives, particularly in data and analytics. LABUR's response involved forming a cohesive and high-performing Scrum Team comprised of skilled consultants who had not previously collaborated. The team's flexible approach allowed them to integrate seamlessly into the client's organization. The results included enhanced performance data on various investment vehicles, optimized third-party data for performance and historical analysis, and upgraded processes for managing trading compliance. Additionally, LABUR's Scrum Master expanded responsibilities by managing a second client team, and the original six-month contract has been renewed for over two years. The client acknowledged the positive impact of LABUR's team on their existing Scrum Teams, indicating a significant improvement in performance.
