Case Study: Warhorse Studios streamlines agile game-development workflows with JetBrains YouTrack

Warhorse Studios - Customer Case Study

Warhorse Studios, the Czech developer behind Kingdom Come: Deliverance, needed a flexible, affordable way to manage development across more than 100 people and varied departments (code, design, art, QA). Moving from Hansoft, the studio sought a tool that could handle bug tracking, cross-department workflows, and real-time visibility into issues and crashes while fitting gamedev processes that only partly follow strict Scrum.

They adopted JetBrains YouTrack as a full project-management solution, leveraging its REST API for real-time bug metrics, custom workflows for task creation, notifications and permissions, Agile boards for cross-team planning, and an integrated crash-reporting pipeline that creates or annotates issues automatically. The result: streamlined issue management, tailored workflows for different teams, improved visibility into open bugs and crashes, and a more adaptable process that better fits game development needs.
