Case Study: a global Fortune 40 retailer accelerates agile transformation with Praecipio and Jira Plans

Fortune 40 Retailer Accelerates Agile Transformation With Plans (Formerly Advanced Roadmaps)

A global Fortune 40 retailer faced challenges in its agile transformation as its reliance on Excel spreadsheets and disparate tools for planning and reporting was time-consuming and provided limited visibility. This hindered their ability to scale releases and manage capacity effectively. Seeking expert help, the retailer engaged Praecipio to implement new tools and optimized processes to support their SAFe goals.

Praecipio implemented Plans for Jira (formerly Advanced Roadmaps) and configured Jira Software to reflect Scaled Agile best practices. This solution replaced spreadsheets, streamlined work, and provided management with real-time, accurate data for better visibility and planning. As a result, the retailer accelerated its work, reduced costs, maximized technology ROI, and reclaimed time previously spent on manual updates, allowing them to focus on adding more release trains to their development practices.
