How Atlassian software supports HP on its LPPD journey

Atlassian was chosen as the technical partner to introduce and apply the LEAN methodology at HP. LEAN is not just a buzzword or a quick fix, but rather a strategy: a new way of thinking and running a company, which is beneficial for both line workers and the CEO. The ultimate goal was to create the most value for the customers while minimizing resources, time, energy, and reducing waste. To achieve this, HP has traveled a unique and successful journey. I believe that sharing our journey would inspire others and help when it comes to choosing the right software for the infrastructure for the product development process.

In this session, I will present the major organizational change HP has made recently – the transition to Lean Product and Process Development (LPPD). As the old approaches were insufficient, HP has determined that the Atlassian suite could play a significant role in the LPPD revolution. At first, I will present the challenges that HP has faced. In short, the tracking of work progress and processes used to be a time-consuming task that required a variety of tools, a disproportionate number of meetings, emails, and overall inefficacy. I then will share how HP has overcome these challenges by using JIRA as the main tool for features and tasks management, reducing time and effort for teams’ synchronization and providing transparency to managers. Finally, I will explain how exactly the broad organizational support of this process resulted in the fast and efficient adaptation of the tools by the users, and the great success of the project.
