Ideas can touch any area of the business so this role will never get boring nor repetitive.This squad than performs 12 week sprints (reporting progress every 2 weeks) to test the idea by tackling the hardest part first to see if they can overcome that.

The aim is to confirm the potential of the idea or “fail fast” in a positive way.Once a PoV is successful it is a different team that scales it to production and this PoV squad moves onto the next 12 week sprint/idea.20% of time is given to “free time” where you could work on any new tools/software’s/ideas yourself, the only stipulation is that you do a presentation to the rest of the team and that hopefully the tools would add some value to their PoV as a whole.This squad has a mix of specialists so that they can tackle any idea using technology across AWS, Azure, Python, React, IoT. AI/ML etc.
