Case Study: Blue Yonder achieves enterprise Agile scale and improved delivery visibility with CollabNet VersionOne

JDA Software - Customer Case Study

JDA Software Group is a global supply‑chain software provider with thousands of employees and hundreds of in‑house development teams delivering more than 60 products. Rigid, year‑long waterfall release cycles made it hard to respond to changing customer needs and coordinate work across multiple locations and recent acquisitions, creating trade‑offs between quality, scope and time-to-market.

JDA adopted agile beginning in 2005, piloting the approach with coaching and standardized training across teams, then scaled it enterprise‑wide using VersionOne to replace spreadsheets and whiteboards with a single, centralized tool for planning, tracking and reporting. The combination of agile practices and VersionOne improved cross‑team visibility and coordination for distributed teams, reduced manual effort, and delivered measurable results — a 98% on‑time, on‑scope project success rate along with faster responsiveness and consistent status reporting.
