Case Study: Autodesk achieves standardized, scalable engineering workflows with Atlassian Jira

Autodesk standardizes on JIRA across engineering teams

Autodesk, a leader in 3D design and engineering software with more than 100 products in 18 languages, faced a coordination challenge: over 100 engineering teams each used different processes, making consistent documentation and effective workflow management difficult across the organization.

To solve this, Autodesk standardized on Jira (alongside Confluence) starting in 2007, using it across 2,000+ engineers and managers to plan sprints, track changes, and manage feedback. The company has logged over one million Jira issues, runs several hundred concurrent users reliably, and uses 220+ custom workflows and plugins to support diverse team processes—resulting in centralized visibility, executive dashboards and reports, faster defect triage, and wider company adoption.
