Case Study: Xero achieves scalable global collaboration during hypergrowth with Jira Software

Atlassian supports Xero’s hypergrowth

Xero, a Wellington‑based provider of cloud accounting software for small and medium businesses with over 1,450 employees, experienced rapid hypergrowth that outpaced its homegrown development tools. As teams spread across geographies and headcount multiplied, Xero needed scalable tooling to enable global collaboration while preserving its creative, open culture.

Xero implemented Jira Software and Confluence, using flexible Jira workflows and Marketplace plugins to let teams customize processes and Confluence as a central knowledge base and internal blog for fast onboarding. The Atlassian stack provided a collaboration framework that scaled with the business, improved information flow, accelerated developer onboarding, and reinforced Xero’s core values.
