Jordan Packer discusses how he helped different teams at Janus Capital Group implement JIRA to improve their workflows and tracking of tasks. He worked with a fixed income analytics team to set up JIRA which allowed them to more easily transition work when teammates were out and gain insights into their team's functions. He then worked with a digital marketing team, where setting up JIRA solved months of workflow and tracking issues and increased their efficiency by an estimated 80% while providing a clear audit trail. The keys to his success were speaking the teams' language, learning their requirements gathering, acting quickly, and being creative.

“JIRA makes transitions when
teammates are out of the office much
easier. In addition, the ability to track
what we are working on, who is
requesting information from us and
how often they request it has offered
us great insight into our team and its
function within the Firm as a whole.
We can more easily recognize
patterns of requests and plan ahead
for future tasks.”!
