Case Study: Nikkei improves agile development and remote collaboration with Zenhub

Nikkei cuts pull request close time to under 24 hours with ZenHub

Nikkei, one of the largest media corporations in the world, faced challenges with its in-house software development after moving away from outsourcing. The company was using the Waterfall methodology, which caused significant delays in project releases and made it difficult to manage technical debt on its crucial Nikkei ID platform. The shift to remote work further complicated collaboration and process evaluation. Nikkei needed a tool to help its teams adopt Agile practices and improve workflow transparency.

By implementing Zenhub, Nikkei's teams were able to seamlessly integrate Scrum methodologies into their workflow. Zenhub provided robust reporting, planning poker for story point estimation, and enhanced tools for remote collaboration. This resulted in a greatly improved development velocity, the ability to launch new projects like passkey authentication, and a reduction in the average time to close pull requests to under 24 hours. Zenhub made onboarding new teams and members straightforward and was instrumental in accelerating Nikkei's digital-first evolution.
