Project is about development and support of the risk management platform used for calculating bank's counterparty risk exposure (CVA) and allowing this to be hedged. The system consumes trades and market data from systems all over the bank and all asset classes, then runs a series of complex risk calculations across the entire trade portfolio and provides feeds to downstream systems of the results. The system needs every trade in the bank before it can run any calculations, and some of these trades are extremely complex products.
The system's purpose is to provide risk reports to groups across the bank as well as external regulators. It is not strictly an end-user application but has circa 100 users consuming its results and working with its UI components. The system must deal with large volumes of incoming data in different formats, with a combination of real-time and daily input feeds. Calculations are extremely large scale and are distributed across a compute grid of few thousand CPUs.
Delivery Process:
- Project team consists of equally sized sub-teams
- Every sub-team is an independent delivery unit consisting of team lead, system analyst, developers (.Net/Java and DB), and testers
- High level planning is performed for every release to define the epics (projects) to be delivered to meet the business stakeholders' needs
- Release scope is split into sprints, and assigned out to the teams for the implementation by project and delivery managers
- Backlog grooming, sprint planning, demo and retrospective sessions are held for every sprint to achieve fast and continuous feedback from all the stakeholders
- JIRA is the main instrument for project planning, progress tracking and collaboration
- Onsite team is responsible for the initial analysis and technical design of new projects that are then handed over to the project team for the detailed analysis and estimation
- Transparent status reporting to guarantee sprint / project / release status visibility for all stakeholders
- Communication channels established to support business requirements and technical solutions discussion
Technologies:
- Back End - .Net/C#, WCF, Data Synapse GRID
- Database - Oracle, MS SQL Analysis Service
