Case Study: IST achieves improved release planning and end-to-end traceability with Aha!

We gave our release planning new life by utilizing Aha!

IST, a Nordic leader in IT solutions for schools (Växjö, 201–500 employees), struggled with poor requirement traceability and unclear roadmaps that undermined product vision and release planning. Integration delays and getting bogged down in details hurt end-to-end delivery and cross-team relations.

By adopting Aha! with two-way integration to Jira, IST gained clear “when/why/what” planning alongside Jira’s “how,” plus requirement numbering, visual tracking, and scoring. The change delivered synchronized product and engineering teams, real-time visibility into progress against quarterly goals, tighter backlog control, and more efficient administration and communication.
