It has so far been applied to the 600 people in their Talent &amp; Culture (T&amp;C) division and is part of a wider improvement in team organisation for the company.<\/p>\n<p>Robert Marchiori, general manager, group transformation at ANZ, ultimately hopes that other divisions within the bank will also take on Agile practices, aiming for finance and risk to be next in the NWOW set up.<\/p>\n<h4>\u201cSquads\u201d and \u201ctribes\u201d<\/h4>\n<p>Marchiori spoke of how when dividing up the teams, he had created \u201csquads\u201d and \u201ctribes\u201d. Commenting at the Agile Australia conference in Sydney, Marchiori discussed how the organisation of teams using <a href=\"https:\/\/www.devopsonline.co.uk\/testing-the-key-to-agile-success\/\">Agile<\/a> had resulted in less \u201clayers\u201d throughout the company. He said that now, there is more of a direct link between juniors and heads in the business.<\/p>\n<p>In further discussing Agile specifics at the conference, he said that each team does not use Agile in the same way, for example, the T&amp;C team doesn\u2019t use the software in the same way as the technology \u201csquad\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe methodology that they use underneath&#8230; they\u2019re not going to be necessarily doing Scrum or Lean per se,\u201d he commented. The general manager continued: \u201cThey also have operational functions, which are in squads but they\u2019re using obviously more Lean than Agile, because they\u2019re based on queues and things like that.\u201d<\/p>\n<h4>It\u2019s not just about the tech<\/h4>\n<p>Marchiori really emphasised the importance of the people when implementing new technologies into a company. In his speech, he said: \u201cWe took a very conscious decision to really focus on transforming our people first, because it\u2019s the people that change the process and it\u2019s the people that change the technology.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>However, he did also comment on using developing technology at ANZ by saying: \u201cIn the technology space, we\u2019re really accelerating our work with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.devopsonline.co.uk\/to-infinity-and-beyond-accelerating-application-migration-to-the-cloud\/\">cloud,<\/a> our work with automated pipelines, and our work with enabling the squads to be able to do their work and trying to start that reduction of dependencies that we have built up from a very traditional model.&#8221;<\/p>\n<h4>A change in working culture<\/h4>\n<p>The bank&#8217;s executive talent and culture, Kathryn van der Merwe, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/pulse\/want-do-talent-culture-differently-join-us-kathryn-van-der-merwe\/\">posted on LinkedIn<\/a> about the move to use Agile at ANZ. She spoke of how it was a huge shift in the working culture of the bank.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSo far we\u2019ve tossed out the book on ANZ\u2019s dress code, we\u2019ve been supporting ANZ\u2019s shift to new ways of working, we\u2019re supporting our leaders to grow and thrive by introducing new ways to lead programs, and we\u2019re making sure our people have access to the latest and greatest digital learning platforms,\u201d she said in the post.<\/p>\n<p>van der Merwe also said that by using Agile practices, the bank hoped to be able to give their employees a higher quality and quicker value in services.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Australia\u2019s third-biggest banking group, ANZ, has adopted Agile as part of their \u2018New Ways of Working\u2019 (NWOW) programme.
