Case Study: VMware achieves accelerated digital transformation and clearer project visibility with SoftwarePlant's BigPicture Enterprise

Better Cloud Infrastructure with BigPicture Enterprise

VMware, a global leader in cloud infrastructure and digital workspace technology, needed better cross‑project planning and release visibility to accelerate its digital transformation. To address this, VMware worked with SoftwarePlant using BigPicture Enterprise to bring structured, timeline‑based planning into their Jira environment.

SoftwarePlant implemented BigPicture Enterprise, integrating Gantt views, hierarchical issue aggregation across projects (epics, parent issues, component releases), and automated date rollups from sub‑tasks to stories and stories to epics. The result was clearer release‑level visibility and streamlined cross‑project scheduling—SoftwarePlant’s BigPicture made date aggregation and field mapping straightforward (with some limits), reducing planning friction and improving VMware’s ability to track baselines and targets.
