Stories from the trenches: Building product teams ...
summary
Built a single digital solution for lending and foreign exchange that serves five markets, tens of thousands of customers and trading/lending volumes in the millions of euros, using cloud hosting, a homegrown orchestration tool, CI/CD and a vendor embedded into cross‑functional teams. Delivery metrics jump from twice per half year to 21 deployments per quarter, cycle time falls to ~14 days and lending time drops from weeks to 14 minutes average; product governance uses a group product owner plus local POs and four‑weekly cross‑country roadmapping. Regulatory approvals and legacy integrations remain key constraints.
