No. Mandatory, only if you’re interested to win some awards!

The squad members are self selecting, and your squad members can be from one department or many departments. There is also no limitation to the squad size. Just hope everyone contributes something. However, ideally, squads are between 6 – 10 people.

Yes, as long as the squad has an overall business goal, and launches many MVPs.

Yes. Squad Super League does not track the squad membership. However, the squad needs to inform us who should get the reward at the end of this program.

No. For now, each person can only be part of one squad.

No. Although it’s good that your squad is formalised in Connectiqa for your annual target setting, but for the purpose of this League, your Squad (and members) is whatever you submit to us.

Yes, its is open to Maybankers (both permanent & contract staff), whether in Malaysia, Singapore, Cambodia, Indonesia or Philippines. However if you squad consist of Maybankers, you will need to “manually” redistribute the reward amongst squad members.

Culture of experimentation means creating a habit of trying things out, and learning, many many times and quickly. Instead of spending a long time debating and trying to come up with the “best” solution.  Don’t spend a lot of time debating ideas, opinions and theories, and proposing all kinds of solutions. Only actual data counts, not opinions.

Also avoid (1) being emotionally attached to an idea, and ending up being defensive, not willing to accept new ideas (2) celebrating a “go-live” or “launch” instead of focusing on the outcome or impact (3) not getting feedback to continuously improve.

It is open to any squads with existing initiatives or new. However, the purpose is to encourage projects to have multiple MVPs to achieve the overall goal. So, if you are part of an existing “large” project, figure out how you can cut them up into smaller MVPs, to test various parts of the big project.

There are no demos, apart from your sprint reviews.

This League is also an experiment. If it works, we will repeat (with adjustments of course). If it doesn’t work, we will figure out why, and maybe try again.

Squad member can contact Mr. Mufis ([email protected]) or Mr. Amran ([email protected]). Alternatively, they can fill the inquiry form as provided in the Squad Super League website.

A Minimum Viable Product is something that you can launch (product, feature, process, function, comms etc.) that will achieve a certain goal (to solve a problem, to speed things up, to improve experience, to sell more, create value etc.). It is “small”, incremental in nature and designed based on previous experiences.

The squad is reviewed by (1) The number of MVPs launched and measured (2) Are lessons being learnt or insights gathered for the next MVP? (3) Are agile practices being followed – with the right intent (4) If they meet their overall goal.

En Kamal will do an off-line review first. If required, the squad will be invited to present.

No. You only need to submit MVPs as you progress. During the 3 months, you may ideate more new MVPs that you did not think of at the start, based on the outcome of earlier MVPs.

No. However, every time you submit a new MVP, the SSL team will give immediate feedback if there’s any adjustments/changes required.

Yes, the squad can “submit” more than 5 MVPs. However, an MVP is considered submitted only if it is deployed to the intended users and builds on top of the previous MVP.

Yes, there is no penalty or punishment if a squad decides to stop…. although we hope that you don’t!

No, you are not required to strictly launch every 2 weeks. But the MVPs should be launched and measured one after another. It should be a string of MVPs.

Yes, they may. Squad iterate their MVP based on the learnings and improvements captured from the previous MVP.

Yes, please inform the SSL team that an MVP is being cancelled.. This is important so that you are not unfairly penalised for not submitting the MVP outcome data.

Sure, the SSL team would be happy to spend time to coach you. Contact Mr. Mufis at ([email protected]) or Mr. Amran Hassan ([email protected]) at any time and we can arrange for a discussion.

It is measuring the MVPs launched, measured and adjusted, practising agile in it’s true intentions. So, it is the behaviour of the overall squad, not the user.

The SSL committee will conduct random spot checks on your squad, by attending your sprint planning, sprint reviews, DSUs and retrospectives.

The format is open. However, the following information must be provided:

• What is the overall squad goal and one thing to be measured,
• What is the baseline and goal,
• A weekly chart showing the the actual achievement,
• List of MVPs deployed and indicators, and
• A weekly chart of the indicator measured for each MVP – note that there is no target for each MVP. Only the overall squad goal is important to the Super League.

More details will be provided closer to the end of the League.

Yes, but monetary rewards for participants outside Malaysia may be replaced due to policy reasons.

MVP progress is not tracked. What will be observed are (1) Are DSU’s being run (2) Has the MVP been launched to the users (3) Are data being gathered and analysed.

After an MVP, data must be gathered and submitted weekly. If this is missed, then the squad will be expelled. However, if the Squad declares that the MVP results have shown enough “proof” to decide the next action, then they may stop sharing the data as they work on the next MVP.

The focus is on continuously measuring the impact of each MVP. If submission stops for no reason, it means the impact is not being actively measured, and therefore the squad is not living the experimental way.

Yes, if a squad leaves the Super League, they do not have to submit anything anymore.

You will not be awarded if you only launched 1 MVP (even if it was successful). You need to continually try something new.

In the Super League website. However, every successful Squad will be rewarded. It is not a competition between squads.

The squad will be measured by how diligent the data is submitted every week, and if they are truly practicing agile. This is done through random “spot-checks” on their Sprint Planning, DSUs, Reviews and Retros.

No. The League only measures the performance of the Squad.

For staff with Band G & below, payment to be made immediately during salary cycle of the particular awards month. Whereas for Band F & above, payment to be made during the next bonus cycle.

The reward can only be paid to Etiqa staff. Therefore, it will be split evenly between each Etiqa staff. However, if your squad consist of Maybankers or Contractors, you will need to “manually” redistribute amongst squad members

The limit per squad is RM15,000. However, there is a limit of RM2,000 per Etiqa staff.

The amount varies as it is subject to the Squad Super League committee’s decision based on the goals achieved by squads.
