Veolia – Managed Services for Jira: From Chaos to Continuous Flow

800+ Users 30+ Teams Scrum & Kanban Continuous Improvement

When Veolia’s software division expanded Jira Software to more than 800 collaborators, the platform became central to delivery — but also fragmented. Teams mixed Scrum and Kanban , configured their own workflows and plugins, and split testing across Zephyr and Xray . Reporting varied between EazyBIg and Custom Charts. The result: duplicated tools, rising costs, and inconsistent practices.

Our Approach

We began with a full ecosystem audit, identifying workflow inconsistencies, plugin overlaps, and training needs. Then we designed a sustainable managed service model around four pillars:

  • Standardized Workflows: Defined clear Scrum and Kanban templates for over 30 teams.
  • Tool Benchmarking: Analyzed all plugins, selected the right set, and reduced redundant costs.
  • Reporting Alignment: Unified dashboards for Scrum (velocity, burndown) and Kanban (throughput, cycle time).
  • Continuous Enablement: Ongoing user training, SLA-based support, and a shared knowledge hub with Atlassian updates.

Unified Agile Workflow (Scrum)

A clear, standard flow for all teams — simple, measurable, and aligned with Agile best practices.
