Case Study: 729 Solutions achieves predictable scoping and delivery with Pivotal Tracker

729 Solutions - Customer Case Study

729 Solutions is a boutique agile shop that evolved from a dot‑com digital agency into a multistack engineering team focused on front‑end UX/design and back‑end work for startups and Fortune 500s. Faced with distributed teams, varied client technical experience, and the need to reliably scope and sell projects without relying on “rock star” engineers or Post‑it note planning, 729 Solutions adopted Pivotal Tracker as their centralized project and velocity management tool.

By making Pivotal Tracker the centerpiece of their velocity‑based agile approach and giving clients ownership of Tracker boards, 729 Solutions tightened scoping, increased transparency, and improved client engagement. The firm cites concrete gains — for example, an 18‑month subcontracted project missed its deadline by only two weeks — and says Tracker helps them demonstrate time/cost/scope tradeoffs, speed decision‑making, and deliver more predictable outcomes.
