Project Manager, Retail Finance CompanyFinancial services

London, United Kingdom

Jan 2016 - Ongoing

$1,000,000 to $9,999,999

Verified

Project summary
Accedia supplemented the development team of a retail finance company to provide spot improvements and bug fixes to their retail orginations platform. They are currently working to migrate to an MVC framework

Feedback summary
The team has successfully delivered all of the product functionality they have been tasked with and has increased their capacity and velocity over the years of their partnership. Accedia communicates very frequently through Slack, helping the teams to function as one effective unit.

BACKGROUND

Introduce your business and what you do there.

I am a product manager for a retail finance company under a larger parent organization.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

What challenge were you trying to address with Accedia?

We needed to expand our development resource base for some work on a product that we were conducting. The work itself was relatively small, so we decided we wanted to bring in a team rather than hire in-house for the project.

SOLUTION

What was the scope of their involvement?

They supplemented our development team in making limited changes as needed throughout an iterative process as we evaluated our customers’ interests and needs for our product. The product itself is a retail originations platform that’s built in Web Forms, which is a legacy stack that comes with a number of technological limitations.

We are moving towards an MVC framework with them, although we are taking one step at a time throughout the process. They helped with that migration, primarily in terms of functionality but with some elements of design as well.

What is the team composition?

We started out working with a team of ten, and we reduced that down to about 4–5 at the beginning of 2019.

How did you come to work with Accedia?

I wasn’t involved in the selection process that led us to our team, but they have been our development partner for quite a while now.

How much have you invested with them?

We’ve spent over $1,000,000 with them over our years of working together.

What is the status of this engagement?

Our work with them started around January 2016 and is still ongoing in a mostly maintenance occasional upgrade capacity.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

What evidence can you share that demonstrates the impact of the engagement?

The main success metrics were the delivery of the projects they’ve worked on for us. Everything we’ve built together has been released and remains in the ecosystem of our products. All of their work has been done with a purpose and supported the core of our business, which has helped them to become a real part of the culture of our organization.

From a metrics perspective, the velocity of the team and the amount that we are able to achieve has very much improved over the course of our engagement together. The fact that we were able to bring them into our day to day operations as well as we have is a testament to the strength of the relationship between our companies.

How did Accedia perform from a project management standpoint?

We handle the project management aspects of the project almost completely. From my perspective, however, they did a good job of sticking to the deadlines that we laid out for them and making sure that we stayed on track toward all deliverables.

The teams communicate primarily over Slack, either voice and video call or messaging about anything that needs to be discussed in the process of the day-to-day. We had a very set regime in terms of our agile approach to the delivery, so there were regular weekly standups and every-other-week retrospectives. They did a great job of being totally open and communicative throughout all of those processes.

What did you find most impressive about them?

Their ability to learn and adapt is consistently one of the most impressive aspects of our work with them. Flexibility is an often-overlooked quality in outsourced vendors, I think, but Accedia was able to adapt to the needs of our business in all regards, whether culturally, strategically, or procedurally.

They were able to strike a really good balance between following our instructions and challenging the reasons why we made various decisions in order to help make the product the best it could be. Fairly early on into our relationship, there wasn’t much difference between the two teams because of their ability to work within the unit almost seamlessly.

Are there any areas they could improve?

I think that they could challenge ideas a little bit more in the early stages of their projects. There is certainly an aspect in which the people you’re working with are your clients and the customer is always right, but at the end of the day you’re building software, and that has to be a joint effort. We developed that level of collaboration over time but having it even earlier could have helped us get up to speed more quickly.

Do you have any advice for potential customers?

Regardless of who has more knowledge of the history of the project at the beginning, you need to make sure that those people have the expertise to take the lead in supporting the new people coming on board. You also have to make sure that those joining the project are gaining the knowledge and skills that they need in order to be successful in their roles.
