Case Study: KIXEYE achieves 30% more accurate time estimates and company-wide collaboration with Atlassian Jira Software

Game developer KIXEYE scores big with JIRA

KIXEYE is a San Francisco game developer behind titles like Backyard Monsters, Battle Pirates, and War Commander, serving a community of over five million and releasing weekly feature updates. Rapid growth and the demands of running live products—balancing urgent bug fixes, long-term roadmaps, and continuous player engagement—left the company needing a scalable system for IT ticketing, bug tracking, and handling non-technical requests.

KIXEYE consolidated on Jira, expanding its use beyond engineering so legal, marketing and other teams manage requests, dependencies and schedules in one place, eliminating email chains and spreadsheets. Today 90% of employees use Jira daily, bringing transparency and metrics to projects, improving developers’ time-estimate accuracy by 30% and helping teams hit their goals more consistently so they can focus on building games.
