In any complex project, especially one with tight timelines and multiple stakeholders, maintaining control over decisions and deliverables is critical. When we embarked on our core banking system migration to Temenos T24, one of the most challenging projects I’ve led it became clear that a structured approval process was essential for keeping the project on track. With a 10-month timeline, it was crucial to ensure that every decision, from minor adjustments to major deliverables, went through the proper channels. Implementing a structured approval process was key to ensuring that the project stayed aligned with our objectives, met quality standards, and minimized risk. Here’s how the structured approval process worked for us: 1. Defined Authority Levels: We established clear authority levels for decision-making. Each stage of the project had designated individuals or committees responsible for approvals, ensuring that decisions were made efficiently and by the right people. 2. Clear Approval Criteria: Each deliverable and decision had predefined criteria that had to be met before it could move to the next stage. This made it easy to assess whether a task was ready for approval, preventing unnecessary delays and rework. 3. Regular Review Cycles: We implemented regular review cycles where key deliverables were evaluated by relevant stakeholders. These reviews allowed us to catch issues early and adjust the course where necessary, keeping the project moving forward smoothly. 4. Accountability and Transparency: Every decision and approval was documented, creating a clear audit trail. This not only ensured accountability but also provided transparency, enabling the team to understand why certain decisions were made and by whom.

As a T24 Business Analyst, once I receive a change request from the client, my approach typically involves the following steps: 1. Understanding the Request: Carefully analyze the client's change request to understand the scope and requirements. 2. Proof of Concept (PoC): Create a proof of concept (PoC) to validate the feasibility of the proposed change. This allows me to ensure that the solution can be integrated without affecting the existing system. 3. Coordination with the Tech Team: Collaborate closely with the technical team to discuss the requirements and ensure that the necessary changes can be made in the system, considering the impact on both the new functionality and the existing solution. 4. Designing and Implementing Changes: Work with the tech team to design and implement the changes in the T24 system, ensuring that there are no negative impacts on the current solution or workflows. 5. Testing: Once the changes are implemented, perform thorough testing to ensure everything works as expected and that no unintended consequences have occurred in the existing setup. 6. Delivery to Client: After confirming that the solution is stable and meets the client's requirements, deliver the updated solution to the client, ensuring that the implementation is successful and the client is satisfied. This approach ensures that the client's requirements are met while maintaining the integrity of the existing solution. #businessanalyst #payments #ba #sepa #sic #rtgs #instant #neft #banking #productowner #product #t24 #temenos #tph

2024: A Year of Growth, Teamwork, and Transformative Success As I reflect on 2024, one thing stands out: the power of teamwork. Leading the data migration from T24 to Flexcube was a monumental challenge that tested not only my expertise but also my teamwork spirit. This wasn’t just a technical shift—it was a collective journey, fuelled by the dedication, collaboration, and resilience of an incredible team. Together, we turned challenges into triumphs, delivering a seamless migration that has set new benchmarks for success. Earning the Temenos Certification (TCCP) this year is another proud achievement, reinforcing my commitment to continuous learning and excellence in core banking systems. But the real highlight of 2024 has been the reminder that success is never a solo endeavour. It’s the synergy of diverse talents and shared goals that truly drives transformation. Stepping into the world of Flexcube after years as a T24 expert was no small feat, but it was made possible by the support of my team and the unwavering belief that we could achieve more together. This experience has solidified my belief that there is power in a team. As I set my sights on 2025, I am filled with inspiration and purpose. I aim to deepen my expertise, spark impactful innovations, and continue building a culture where collaboration unlocks potential and transforms possibilities into achievements. Growth is not just a personal pursuit—it is a shared journey where we rise higher together. To my connections, let’s keep pushing boundaries, embracing challenges, and proving that together we can achieve the extraordinary. Here’s to a future built on teamwork, growth, and innovation!
