Scaling agile with Jira Data Center and Portfolio for Jira

Join ABN AMRO to learn how they use Jira Data Center and Portfolio for Jira to maintain agility with their continued growth.

In 2015, ABN AMRO, one of the largest banks in the Netherlands, rolled out agile with Jira across their organization. Within a year and a half, they grew from over 100 to 7000 users. This rapid growth greatly increased their system complexity, including 65 administrators who created over 65 issue types, 250 statuses, and 400 workflows. In order to scale agile practices, while keeping work and teams aligned, ABN AMRO migrated to Jira Data Center and implemented Portfolio for Jira.

Join ABN AMRO's Dennis Struis, product owner Jira, and Rik de Valk, product owner portfolio management, to learn:

  • The journey and process of introducing agile to their growing organization
  • How they introduced Jira Data Center to new users
  • How they implemented Portfolio for Jira to align work and teams
  • The impact on usability, gathering metrics, improving system performance and maintenance
