The Company

Founded in 1857, BBVA is one of the world’s leading financial institutions, operating in more than 25 countries and serving millions of customers across Europe, the Americas, and Asia. The bank provides a broad portfolio of retail, corporate, wealth management, and digital banking services, supported by a strong commitment to innovation and technology. With digital transformation at the core of its strategy, BBVA continuously invests in modernizing its digital platforms, evolving customer channels, and expanding data- and AI-driven capabilities to deliver faster, more personalized, and secure financial services.

The Challenge

BBVA needed to transform its organizational culture to respond to an increasingly dynamic and digital business environment. The challenge was to align business and technology teams, scale the adoption of agile practices, and strengthen the organization's ability to prioritize initiatives, make decisions, and accelerate value delivery.

The Solution

We supported BBVA's agile transformation by implementing an adoption model aligned with the organization's global guidelines. We worked alongside Agile Coaches, business and technology leaders, and cross-functional teams to introduce frameworks such as Scrum, Kanban, Lean, and SAFe 5.0, combining training, coaching, and mentoring.

In addition, we established team synchronization practices, agile change management initiatives, and tailored the framework to the organization's needs, enabling enterprise-wide adoption and continuous evolution.

  • Greater autonomy and maturity among teams and Agile Coaches in adopting agile practices.
  • Data-driven decision-making.
  • Increased agility in prioritizing initiatives and managing organizational capacity.
