Driving Innovation at Rivian with Atlassian Tools
In the fast-paced world of electric vehicles, Rivian stands out as a pioneering force. A company committed to sustainability and innovation, Rivian constantly seeks ways to enhance its internal processes.

Spotlight on JXL: A Game-Changer for Rivian
A key player in Rivian’s toolkit is JXL, an app from the Atlassian Marketplace. JXL has become indispensable for Rivian teams, providing a powerful, spreadsheet-like interface within Jira. This allows teams to manage issues with ease, offering a comprehensive view of projects at a glance. Mike Hayes, Senior Architect, Digital Workspace & Solutions at Rivian describes, “Without exaggeration, JXL sheets are life changing. We have a diverse set of users with an equally diverse set of projects, and they all find JXL to be incredibly useful.”
Versatile Use Cases for JXL
Rivian teams utilize JXL for a myriad of projects. As stakeholders review and manage requests, the JXL for Jira Marketplace app enables them to edit and organize each item like they would in Excel—a key feature users love for Internal Purchasing Review (IPR) and other workflows.
