Sharing takeaways (success and failures) about:

• leadership and software engineering throughout a 5+ years journey in 2 different ‘data’ departments at NBC (National Bank of Canada).

• the complexity to kickstart a software engineering community in an existing IT organization (100+ teams, 3000+ employees & consultants) and its coexistence with established DevOps communities.

Also in the mix, the importance and role of organizational culture and diversity, specifically at the department level, in management (and technical) IT teams.

Context and use cases will be based on those departments:

• Corporate Data -- IT only -- 50+ employees & consultants -- prioritization done internally.

• Master Data Management -- Business + IT -- 150+ employees & consultants -- prioritization done by Business PO (Product Owner).

Some insights, reflections, and updates from my previous DOES presentation in 2019 will also be shared.
