Case Study: Dachis Group reduces software turnaround time from 17 days to 5 with Atlassian

Dachis Group reduces software turnaround time from 17 days to 5 with Atlassian

Dachis Group, an Austin-based social media analytics firm that monitors 50 million social signals and 4 million brand advocates for Fortune 500 clients like Philips and Nestlé, faced a need to speed feature delivery and eliminate developer overhead. Leadership wanted to minimize the time from feature idea to customer delivery and let engineers focus on coding instead of administrative tasks like logging reports and filling out forms.

Dachis implemented Atlassian tools (Jira Software, Confluence, Fisheye, Bitbucket, Crucible) and Kanban practices to streamline work: code reviews are tied to Jira issues, artifacts live in Bitbucket and are tracked with Fisheye, and Capture for Jira creates screenshot-based bug tickets that are 90% actionable and shave two days off bug fixes. The result was a reduction in software turnaround time from 17 days to 5, with much better visibility and developer productivity.
