AI-Augmented Development in a Global FinTech Company
Challenge:
A leading FinTech firm was struggling with slow product development cycles, frequent bottlenecks in backlog refinement, and inefficient manual testing. They wanted to integrate AI but lacked a structured approach to do so effectively.
ExtremeScrum Approach:
- AI-Driven Backlog Grooming: Implemented AI tools to analyze customer feedback and market trends, automatically suggesting backlog items based on impact and feasibility.
- Plan, Prompt, Generate, Review Workflow: Developers used AI to generate boilerplate code, reducing time spent on repetitive tasks while maintaining quality through peer reviews.
- Extreme Collaboration: Scrum teams worked with AI as a “pair programmer,” leveraging it for rapid prototyping and real-time code refactoring.
Results:
✅ 30% reduction in backlog refinement time.
✅ 50% faster development cycles without compromising quality.
✅ Higher developer satisfaction as AI reduced tedious, manual coding.
