The Orangescrum team received an interesting use case from a major European agency (who are now our customers – yay!) a few quarters ago. They are a big organization with a complex hierarchy and a range of strategic & functional operational teams. They have been a victim of
- Silo work approaches
- Teams choosing their own tools
- IT has no control over the data privacy spread across these tools
- Aren’t confident of accurate billing
- Executive Management is unable to see actual statuses of their initiatives
See one of the actual emails from a lengthy conversation below –
Consider the following example:
My Board takes a number of decisions, based on the materials on its agenda. The decisions distill to tasks, which have a responsible person and deadline. Sometimes the tasks are complex and require the collaboration of several people. Usually, tasks are assigned to Departments, which have to organize the operational work and deliver.
The point is how to organize the process in such a way, that:
- The Board knows at any moment what is the status of all tasks, irrespective of domains, including a breakdown by due dates, assignees, etc;
- The respective Department (Head) can break down the Board task into small pragmatic tasks and assign them to single persons for delivery
- If needed various departments to be able to collaborate for the execution of the said task
- The Department Heads and the participants to see and work only what is assigned to their department or their domain/task/project and not the full portfolio of the bank.
- Reasonable system of notifications – not overly noisy. Preferably with options to configure what to notify on. The senior management certainly should not be notified on the status change of each task somewhere in the bank.
In brief, this is a concrete case we resolve now. Hope I made it clear enough.

It's been a rocky few months for Uber.
For the three-month period ended June 30, Uber posted a worse-than-expected loss of $4.32 per share.
That's more than the $3.19 per share loss analysts surveyed by Yahoo had forecast.
They reached 100 million per month for the first time ever, offering insight into how often consumers use the company's services.
Ryan Graves, Uber's first employee and first CEO, stepped down from the company's board of directors in May.
And then two more board members, entrepreneur Arianna Huffington and venture capital investor Matt Cohler, resigned last month.
Since then, I’ve built ACH clearing and wire transfer products focused on the community banks and asset management and portfolio management software with Raymond James.
At Brightwell, I work with remittances and banking partners to provide a challenger bank to the global migrant community.3.
If you look at many of the Southeast Asian countries, the rise of apps, such as WeChat, have completely changed how money flows through an economy.5.
Sitting at the intersection of digital banks, remittances and domestic P2P, Brightwell is uniquely positioned to capitalize on the holistic financial service opportunities in the global market.
Today, we facilitate over two million transactions each month.
It’s hard to imagine that only ten years ago the options for sending money internationally were limited to a handful of traditional remittance players, banks and the post office.
In 2020, Edinburgh Tattoo is just closer to its 70th anniversary that’s are celebrating in August.
The Edinburgh Tattoo Tickets can be booked online.
The performances will take place from the 7-29 August 2020 at Edinburgh Castle Esplanade.In order to accelerate “growth strategy”, the Royal Edinburgh Military Tattoo has appointed Rucelle Soutar to the position of Chief Operating Officer (COO).Soutar, who has worked with tattooing for five years as CFO, will lead the tattoo management team to implement ambitious audience development and business growth plans across the country and abroad.She will lead the operational activity that will flesh out the Council's plans to double Tattoo's turnover to £ 20 million by 2025, increase the global audience and reach over one billion in several channels and to support charitable donations to £ 1 million per year.Chief Executive Officer Brigadier David Allfrey explains: This is a historic meeting for the Tattoo.
The appointment of a chief operating officer will help us make better use of the human capital we have in the business while fixing the throttle on our annual programs in Edinburgh and abroad.Our board of directors has defined a good strategy for the growth of the company in the coming years and Rucelle will make it happen, playing a key role in the development of our business into a world class brand operating on the world stage.She has achieved remarkable results as a finance manager and is now leading a growing team to oversee all of our operational results using her keen sense, knowledge and experience to create momentum and agility in new business partnerships.In her new role, she will also continue to fulfill our exciting plans for the August annual fair, our commitment to charitable giving, and returns on investment and influence.Chief Operating Officer Rucelle Soutar said, “This is an exciting time for the company and a huge privilege for me.
I have seen what we are capable of as a business, continuing to develop and grow over the past five years, and I am delighted to play a key role in driving our vision of success, building our brand and the expanding global footprint of our business.For me, the opportunity to continue building a business of size, stature and the importance of tattooing was to be seized.
I am excited about our vision and ambition, and my role is essential in giving more people the opportunity to enjoy the wonderfully rich and uplifting tattoo experience more often and in evolving forms.
