Introduction:
The Digitalisation organisation is accountable for maturing targeted Digital technologies (and related technology platforms) and the Digital talent and skills necessary for delivering these digital technologies (through Centres of Expertise (CoEs)).
The Advanced Analytics CoE (AA COE) is a part of the Digitalisation organisation and is accountable for developing innovative advanced analytics capabilities, maturing them, and transitioning them to the relevant support teams within the broader IT function. The Advanced Analytics CoE works other CoEs within the Digitalisation organisation (Mobility, Computation etc.) to develop innovative digital products.
Within the AA COE, the Product team is responsible for shaping and delivering a pipeline of advanced analytics products (using the Agile Scrum framework), managing all engagements with businesses, IT Managers and Innovation Advisors, and supporting the identification of high-potential value new opportunities through engagement with different stakeholders. The Product Team composes of Product Managers and Scrum Masters. It works with the Advanced Analytics Dev Teams (Data Science, Data Engineering, UI/X, QA) to ensure that appropriate Dev support is provided throughout the lifecycle of Advanced Analytics products. The Product Team also works closely with the AA COE Programme Lead to ensure that successful innovation products are effectively transitioned to support as part of IT projects and programmes.
