Case Study: Lutron achieves over 30% year-over-year product output growth with Atlassian Confluence

Lutron illuminates the way to intelligent lighting experiences with SAFe and Jira Align

Lutron Electronics, a long-time leader in lighting control, faced the challenge of coordinating complex, interdependent hardware and software development as its products became smart and mass-market. Long hardware lead times, cultural differences between teams, and fragmented tools made dependency management and scaling difficult—prompting an executive directive to increase engineering productivity by 30%.

Working with Adaptavist, Lutron piloted SAFe and implemented Jira Align alongside its Atlassian stack, reorganizing teams to be more cross-functional and shifting focus from activity to outcomes. The new process and single source of truth reduced dependencies and “management by walking around,” improved visibility from strategy to execution, and drove more than a 30% year-over-year increase in product output with further gains as adoption scaled.
