Case Study: Teradata achieves increased efficiency and visibility with NimbleWork, Inc.'s SwiftKanban

Teradata - Customer Case Study

Teradata, a data‑centric IT and consulting organization, found Scrum ill‑suited for complex data integration work in their Build and Test phases and needed a way to manage dependencies, provide real‑time visibility, and reduce the risk of unfinished sprint work. To address this, they selected NimbleWork, Inc.’s SwiftKanban to implement Kanban across consulting, IT and IT support projects starting in 2015.

NimbleWork, Inc. implemented SwiftKanban boards with features like parent/child cards, linking, linking boards and import/export (and Jira integration) to visualize work and manage complex dependencies. The result was increased efficiency from visualization and real‑time updates, improved visibility at all levels, easier integration of clients/vendors/3rd parties into development cycles, and reduced risk of incomplete time‑boxed work—outcomes Teradata attributes directly to NimbleWork, Inc.’s SwiftKanban.
