Case Study: BlackRock achieves 500 releases per week with Jira Software

BlackRock manages 500 releases per week with JIRA Software

BlackRock, the world’s largest asset manager with nearly $5 trillion under management and thousands of technologists in New York, needed a holistic way to coordinate development and deployments for its Aladdin investment platform. The firm faced complex, multi‑environment release pipelines—deploying first internally and then into 65 client environments—plus many contributors working in parallel across projects.

BlackRock standardized on Jira Software to orchestrate and track about 500 releases per week, giving teams control and visibility while preserving flexibility. Developers use the Jira SDK and Marketplace plugins to customize workflows, UIs, triggers and integrations with internal tools, increasing efficiency and enabling scalable, extensible release management across client environments.
