Case Study: Blacklane cuts planning from weeks to days with Dragonboat

Blacklane cuts planning from weeks to days with Dragonboat

Blacklane, a global premium chauffeur service, faced significant challenges as its product portfolio grew. Their planning process was fragmented across disparate spreadsheets and Jira projects, causing a misalignment between strategy and execution. This lack of a single source of truth led to weeks-long planning cycles and made it difficult for leadership to understand resource allocation. To address this, Blacklane turned to the vendor Dragonboat for a product portfolio management solution.

By implementing Dragonboat as their Product Portfolio OS, Blacklane standardized its operating model. The Dragonboat platform provided a single source of truth, linking objectives and key results (OKRs) to roadmaps and capacity planning. This solution replaced manual reporting with real-time dashboards, enabling data-driven decisions. The results were immediate: planning time was cut from weeks to days, manual overhead was eliminated, and roadmap delivery became more predictable, elevating product operations to a strategic advantage.
