Role: Tech Arch Manager (Agile Project Manager) (Feb

2014 -Till Date) Team Size: Multiple Teams

Business Problem:

BANA is engaging Supplier to assess the suitability of Test Driven

Development ("TDD") and Behavior Driven Development ("BDD") methodology

for select BANA application projects as agreed to by the Parties, with a

maximum of 3 concurrent application projects aligned per Supplier Agile

coach. For each in scope application project, Supplier will provide

support to help define the organizational readiness and approach to TDD

and the steps required in the transformation to TDD methodology. Supplier

Agile coaches will help implement and measure benefits of the methodology

for the in scope applications. Supplier and BANA will discuss the

business case for TDD and BDD for each in scope application project. If

BANA determines to move forward with implementing the methodology,

Supplier will provide decision criteria to help BANA determine cost

estimates for TDD or BDD implementation that includes skills required,

assessment of staffing required, initial and on-going training, coaching

and tooling. The Supplier Agile coach will help decide the critical

decision criteria, metrics, performance assessment and quality assurance

of TDD or BDD implementation. Supplier will coach BANA delivery team

resources in the steps required to implement TDD or BDD processes,

measurements and improvements.
