To deliver incremental value/service enhancements, Nasdaq utilizes agile methodology best practices. Sprint cycles comprise initial planning, daily scrums, demonstrations, and a retrospective, which ensures continuous improvement. Such discipline enables rapid planning, developing, testing, and deployment of enhancements.

NRP is built utilizing a microservice architecture and is deployed in the cloud as a software-as-a-service (SaaS)-based offering. Because each microservice encapsulates specific functionality, this technology foundation is an ideal basis for rapid, agile development and deployment. Utilizing communication via API(s), the agile development team can isolate changes to specific microservice(s) without impacting other NRP functionality. Automated test pipelines assure quality and SaaS facilitates the releases/updates that occur every three weeks. Thus, clients are current and freed of having to test or deploy software.

Enhancements are driven and continuously prioritized by customer input, market events, and regulatory developments. Nasdaq plans on a quarterly basis using a Weighted Shortest Job First (WSJF) methodology.Candidates for the 2024 roadmap include:

Agile methodology-focused categories have been part of WatersTechnology’s various awards programs for the best part of a decade, and in all that time no entry has better articulated the value and effectiveness of the development framework than this one from Nasdaq. All that focus is to the ultimate benefit of the client through Nasdaq’s outstanding NRP offering. The beauty of agile is that new functionality is drip-fed into the product regularly (and largely seamlessly from users’ perspectives), ensuring that it is always current and that its evolution is driven in collaboration with its end-users. Nasdaq, take a bow.
