Case Study: Online Travelling Company predicts software release dates with Adaptavist's JIRA Agile plugin

How Adaptavist built a groundbreaking JIRA Agile plugin that predicts future software release dates up to two years in advance

Online Travelling Company, a major player in the online travel sector, needed a better way to predict when new website features would be ready for release. Working with Adaptavist, they sought a tool and consultancy approach that would improve sprint visibility, make planning more predictable, and reduce wasted effort around release timing.

Adaptavist built a groundbreaking JIRA Agile plugin that forecast release dates based on historical sprint performance, using visual sprint prediction markers, editable sprint details, and a minimum viable product field to help teams prioritise and plan. The solution improved collaboration across up to a dozen development teams and nearly 200 developers, reduced the risk of redundant work, and was delivered in less than two months, within budget and on the client’s deadline.
