Case Study: Farm Bureau Insurance achieves faster time-to-market and improved quality with Jama Software's Jama Connect

why Jama Connect’s easy-to-use platform is the right choice for modern insurance firms

Farm Bureau Insurance, a Michigan-based insurer founded in 1949 with ~800 associates and nearly 450 agents, faced slow, error-prone product development because business analysts managed requirements in scattered Word and Excel documents across SharePoint and Teams. This caused versioning issues, cumbersome change management, manual review workflows, and poor collaboration—hindering their goals to increase speed to market and improve quality.

They chose Jama Connect after a 30‑day trial for its usability, central requirements repository, traceability, built-in templates, and Review Center. Jama consolidated requirements and decision history, simplified impact analysis and approvals, and centralized feedback, resulting in a single source of truth, faster time to market, improved deliverable quality, and better team communication during a phased rollout supported by training and responsive vendor support.
