Case Study: Recidiviz simplifies project management and cross-team collaboration with Zenhub

Recidiviz simplifies project management with Zenhub for 80-person teams and 50 engineers

Recidiviz, a nonprofit tech organization, faced a challenge scaling its project management processes as its team grew rapidly while working to create a more equitable U.S. justice system. Their initial method of using spreadsheets linked to GitHub issues could not handle the complexity of tracking work and dependencies across multiple teams. They turned to vendor ZenHub for a project management solution that could integrate seamlessly with GitHub and provide the right amount of structure without unnecessary complexity.

ZenHub provided a solution that was deeply integrated with GitHub, eliminating manual updates and keeping work connected to the code. The platform's Epics and dependencies features were critical for managing cross-team collaborations and launches. As a result, Recidiviz stayed nimble and avoided tool sprawl, allowing its team of nearly 80 people to remain focused entirely on its core mission rather than on managing complicated processes.
