Case Study: Veracity Cyber transforms Jira planning and replaces Microsoft Project with Tempo Structure

Veracity Cyber - Customer Case Study

Veracity Cyber faced significant internal resistance when attempting to transition teams from the familiar Microsoft Project to Jira. A key challenge was a deeply entrenched master scheduler and his team, who saw Jira as a downgrade and lacked the critical planning tools they relied on. The existing Jira instance was also chaotic, with thousands of projects and inconsistent data, making unified reporting and organization-wide alignment nearly impossible.

Using Tempo's Structure PPM, strategist Dustin MacBrayne rebuilt the team's familiar Microsoft Project workflows within Jira, creating Gantt charts, custom baselines, and intuitive, real-time views without needing admin access. The solution from Tempo normalized the chaotic data, enabling clear, live reporting across all projects. The result was a complete cultural shift: the most skeptical users became powerful advocates, eliminating status-reporting headaches and driving adoption across the organization.
