Case Study: BigDoor achieves rapid weekly releases and measurable agile tracking with Jira Software

Agile project management at gamification company

BigDoor is a fast-growing gamification platform that adds points, badges, leaderboards and virtual currency to publishers’ sites to boost engagement and revenue—serving hundreds of publishers and billions of API calls. As the team scaled and aimed to release software weekly, their existing tools either changed licensing or lacked integrated agile and code-review features, so they needed a flexible, end-to-end project management solution to keep velocity and quality high.

BigDoor moved to Jira Studio—using GreenHopper for agile planning, Confluence for docs, Crucible for code reviews and integrated CI—along with Google Apps integration and SaaS hosting for quick setup. The toolset enabled weekly sprints, daily standups, clearer prioritization, measurable metrics on cycle time and progress, and better workflow control, helping the team maintain rapid releases and improve development transparency.
