How many teammates from Thruster were assigned to this project?
2-5 Employees
Describe the scope of work in detail. Please include a summary of key deliverables.
Thruster provided in total 3 developers across the regulatory reporting project. The project was a consequence of 5th AML Directive which ordered financial institutions to build a central reporting mechanism to report to local authorities account and safe deposit box ownership data. During the period when Thruster developers were working on this project, they have build reporting systems for Luxembourg, Ireland, Denmark, Sweden and Finland. They have contributed to everything from designing the technical architecture, building the solutions, to testing and maintaining them.
RESULTS & FEEDBACK
What were the measurable outcomes from the project that demonstrate progress or success?
Regulatory reporting systems for 5 markets were developed and delivered. Deadlines from local authorities met. We have received high satisfaction evaluation from business stakeholders and no complains about the quality from local authorities.
Describe their project management. Did they deliver items on time? How did they respond to your needs?
Developers have been assigned to Agile teams and working closely with other members of the team in iterations (sprints). One team had 2 developers from Thruster and another team had 1. All Thruster developers were senior level. Their deliveries were always high quality and they have been critical part of the success of the project.
What was your primary form of communication with Thruster?
Virtual Meeting
Email or Messaging App
What did you find most impressive or unique about this company?
It did not feel at all that the developers were not internal Danske Bank employees, they did not feel at all like externals. They have shown great ownership of the project and were not there 'just to do the job'. They have onboarded and trained new squad members and shown that they care for how the solution will be left once they leave. On the technical level, they have been flawless.
Are there any areas for improvement or something Thruster could have done differently?
I believe the communication regarding the contracts could have been better, but thats not only on the Thruster side, but also on Danske Bank's side. However, I as a Product owner, was not involved in this process, so cannot comment on details.
