Case Study: RunKeeper achieves streamlined collaboration and on-time releases with Atlassian (Confluence, Jira & Hipchat)

Runkeeper stays fit and informed with Confluence

Runkeeper, the Boston-based maker of a popular fitness app used by over 40 million people, faced growing pains as a 50-person team delivering alternating biweekly iPhone and Android releases. The company had outgrown Google Docs for tracking projects, requirements, and cross-team collaboration and needed a centralized knowledge base that integrated with Jira to keep everyone on the same page.

Runkeeper trialed Confluence and adopted it alongside Jira and Hipchat, using Confluence pages, Team Calendars, and macros that pull release details from Jira to plan releases, document processes, and archive work. The result was faster, more organized collaboration, better support for agile workflows, real-time notifications, and a single source of truth that keeps teams synchronized and confident as the company scales.
