Case Study: Dachis Group achieves 5-day software turnaround (reduced from 17 days) with Jira Software

Dachis Group reduces software turnaround time from 17 days to 5 with Atlassian

Dachis Group, a large-scale social media analytics firm based in Austin that monitors millions of social signals for Fortune 500 brands, needed to speed feature delivery and free developers from non‑coding overhead like manual reports, forms, and copy‑paste tasks. Their goal was to minimize time-to-customer and let engineers focus on building rather than administrative work.

Dachis implemented a lean Kanban development process using Atlassian tools—Jira Software, Confluence, Bitbucket, Fisheye, Crucible—and the Capture for Jira add-on to streamline bug reporting and code review. That workflow reduced average software turnaround from 17 days to 5 and cut bug remediation time by about two days, while giving teams the visibility needed to prevent chaos.
