Case Study: Iris Education achieves product consistency and better cross-team collaboration with ProdPad

Iris Education streamlines 17k schools with ProdPad

Iris Education, the education division of Iris Software, faced a significant challenge after a period of rapid growth through acquisitions. The company had inherited a raft of disparate products and teams that all used different tools and ways of working, lacking a consistent approach to product development. To bring transparency and unity to these disparate teams, they turned to ProdPad's product management tools.

ProdPad provided a centralized platform for roadmap publication, idea management, and impact/effort analysis. The solution saved the product director significant time in communication, provided crucial management visibility, and made integration between products much easier. Most significantly, using ProdPad helped the various acquired teams feel culturally and psychologically like one unified team, fostering a more self-sufficient and autonomous working environment.
