Real Stories. Real Challenges. Real Engineering.

Join us for an unmissable deep dive into how Accenture and Leeds Building Society are collaborating to deliver engineering excellence at scale.

These leaders will share firsthand insights into how their teams are navigating the complexities of scaling delivery, maintaining quality, and driving innovation across a distributed engineering landscape.

What You’ll Learn:

  • Quality at Scale.
  • How we’re using shared libraries, SonarCloud, and cross-team standards to ensure consistency and excellence.
  • Scaling with offshore teams.

  • Iterative development in practice.
  • Using SAFe and proof points—how we’re delivering value faster, smarter, and more collaboratively.
  • We’ll also unpack the real challenges— ‘how scalable are those pipelines, really?’ —and how we’re tackling them head-on.
