Investigate and Plan Zeno Pay's 90-Day Scrum Transition
Overview
What this challenge is about.
Analyze Zeno Pay's squads and delivery data to build a 90-day Scrum transition plan. Earn a verifiable certificate.
The scenario
Zeno Pay is a Warsaw-based challenger in European embedded payments, where its software lets online marketplaces and platforms offer payments and onboarding without building their own banking stack. Its 70 staff are split across three product squads — Payments Core, Merchant Onboarding, and Risk & Compliance — the last of which works under strict financial-regulation audit cycles that the other two do not face.
The Brief
What you'll do, and what you'll demonstrate.
How should a 70-person fintech move three product squads from ad-hoc delivery to working Scrum within 90 days, in a way the delivery data shows will actually fix missed commitments?
Earning criteria — what you'll demonstrate
- Diagnose delivery dysfunction from real delivery records rather than from assumptions
- Apply Scrum roles, events, and artifacts accurately as defined in the Scrum Guide
- Design a cross-squad Product Backlog and cadence that respects a regulated team's constraints
- Sequence a change-management rollout that anticipates and mitigates concrete resistance
- Communicate a data-backed transformation plan persuasively to skeptical executives

Associate Product Owner
Structuring a Product Backlog across three squads and enforcing Definition of Ready and Done are everyday Product Owner skills. Designing them here from real delivery data prepares you to own backlog quality in a live product team.
