Case Study: BlueCat Networks streamlines Jira project management with Tempo Structure PPM

Why Structure PPM was the ideal app for adapting to BlueCat’s workflows

BlueCat Networks, a Toronto-based software company, faced challenges with project management as they grew. Their combination of spreadsheets and out-of-the-box Jira became inadequate, leading to overwhelming complexity and outdated data. They needed a flexible tool to create a single, scalable system that would keep their teams in sync and make work easier to parse without adding friction to their existing workflow and culture.

Tempo's Structure PPM was implemented as the primary tool to organize Jira. It allowed BlueCat to build custom issue hierarchies that matched their preferred workflow, using automation and generators to keep structures updated. The solution provided powerful, flexible views that could adapt as their development process evolved. As a result, the 130-person development team gained clear visibility into their work, enabling them to coordinate effectively and ensure everything was accounted for, ultimately supporting the company's continued growth.
