Case Study: Runkeeper achieves streamlined collaboration and faster mobile releases with Jira Software

Runkeeper Stays Fit and Informed With Confluence

Runkeeper, the Boston-based fitness app with over 40 million users, faced a scaling challenge: a 50-person team delivering alternating iPhone and Android releases every two weeks struggled to keep everyone on the same page. Runkeeper had outgrown Google Docs and needed a centralized collaboration and knowledge-base solution that integrated with Jira.

After a 30-day trial, Runkeeper adopted Confluence alongside Jira and Hipchat. Teams use Confluence as a wiki and Team Calendars to coordinate separate release schedules, pull Jira release details into project pages, and document core processes, with Hipchat providing real-time notifications. The result: stronger agile adoption, clearer cross-team coordination, faster issue resolution, and a scalable collaboration platform that keeps the company organized as it grows.
