Context

Measuring frugality to prioritise the most impactful actions

The Digital Front Chapter at Crédit Agricole Technologies & Services develops applications for employees and 8 million customers.

Teams faced several concrete challenges:

The goal was therefore to better measure application behaviour to prioritise the most impactful actions.

  • dissatisfied users because some applications were too slow;
  • data volumes too high for branch network infrastructure;
  • environmental responsibility to integrate into the product approach.

Results

An internal Smart'Use label to assess and improve products

  • Web and mobile products are assessed and labelled through an internal frugality label.
  • Progress is encouraged through healthy competition between teams.
  • Teams have concrete results to identify priority improvement levers.

Keys to success

What made the difference

Co-built labelling criteria

The criteria for the internal frugality label « Smart'Use » were co-built then rolled out to Tribes.

A managed services model

Audits are performed on demand, in a managed services logic suited to team needs.

Direct access to results

Squads access Greenspector Studio to view their results, track indicators and identify actions to take.

A continuous improvement dynamic

The approach stimulates competition between teams and encourages continuous progress on web and mobile products.
