The need for a solution

The engineering team uses an Agile methodology and does work estimations in story points. The accounting department is more familiar with traditional time tracking and is more equipped to work with time than story points. We had to translate story points to hours, which was challenging and time-consuming. Manual work logging was never an option for the engineering team.

It would take me several days to just get data from Jira. With Quantify I have everything I need available within minutes.

The decision process

We found Quantify on Atlassian Marketplace, and it was clear that their solution stands out from a typical time-tracking app. After a few weeks of evaluation and consultation with other stakeholders, we decided to proceed. Quantify didn’t require any change management because it adapted to the existing development process and engineers didn’t need to use any additional tools. Finally, the flexibility of the dashboard widgets based on Jira filters elevated overall confidence in the solution.

The solution in action

The process of capital expenditures reporting of software development costs is greatly simplified, resulting in increased velocity between the engineering and financial departments. Beside formal reporting, Quantify is instrumental in the visualisation of actual effort allocation. Company monitors the team allocation project by project, which works as a feedback loop for management. Quantify helps both with the big picture overview and with getting details at the individual ticket level.
