Operating model & connected Atlassian ecosystem
PM Peer role: Discovery, operating model design & Atlassian implementation
Challenge
A 100-person automotive technology company had outgrown its tools and its informal ways of working. Urgent requests were agreed in corridor conversations, with no traceable intake, no view of team workloads and no status on global initiatives.
Approach
Started with discovery before any tooling: mapped the end-to-end workflow, then agreed initiative owners, decision groups and intake routes. Implemented team by team on a connected Atlassian setup: Jira Product Discovery for intake, Jira for delivery, Confluence for executive reporting.
Results
- Traceable intake from idea to approved initiative
- One executive view of all global initiatives, reviewed weekly with named owners
- Team workload visibility and automated cross-team requests
