AltaPay is a Denmark-based payment solution provider that simplifies payments across various channels. They offer over 50 international payment methods through a single connection and have partnered with Danish banks to reduce costs and complexity. AltaPay’s services include in-person payment terminals, mobile payment support, and anti-fraud management, all aimed at providing a flexible and transparent payment experience for businesses.
The Challenge
To grow and improve their payment solutions platform, AltaPay started building a new data platform.
They gathered a new team who could work on building the data platform. Shortly after they started, the Product Owner left for maternity cover.
Thus, AltaPay now needed a Product Owner who could onboard fast and start building with the team. The team was newly established and just getting started with Scrum. The new Product Owner’s main tasks were to support the team in working agile as well as making sure the new product is being developed.
