RecommendsPositive OutlookNo opinion of CEOI have been working at Bank of Ireland full-time (More than 3 years)
Pros
lots of investment going on
Cons
Too much process and everything takes too long, too much outsourcing leading to lack of trust within teams and outsourcing partners milking the T&M nature of the contract, hiding behind process and supported in that by nervous service delivery hacks who want never to improve service, just to recude change related incidents.
Advice to Management
stop talking about agile and do it
