METHODOLOGIES
USED
Always aligning to the expectations, client-side internal methodologies were used, including templates and standards for banking project preparation, planning, resource planning, project risk management, project reporting.
Classic Waterfall or Agile banking project management methodologies were applied.
In some cases hybrid project methodologies were applied to reach the project goals and milestones within the given framework.
Instant payment implementation project scope and targets
In 2016, the Magyar Nemzeti Bank, the central bank of Hungary started a countrywide project in partnership with GIRO Ltd. and 35 payment service providers to implement an instant payment solution, ensuring the execution of payments between Hungarian payment accounts within seconds, on a 24/7/365 basis.
As most of the legacy systems are not designed for 99,9% availability, Banks had to make massive developments, and introduce new shadow banking systems to be able to comply to the regulations till the given deadline.
