It operates globally, with offices in major financial centres around the world.

Our customer one of the divisions has close to 20+ applications associated with each product manager, and they have 20+ such product managers spread across the division. In modern product development environments, managing complex workflows and ensuring efficient task delegation is often fragmented across multiple tools and platforms when they take up any new product enhancement or new product initiatives. Product managers struggle with the manual effort involved in creating epics, defining story points, managing code branches, and assigning tasks to the right product owners or teams. This lack of integration and automation results in inefficiencies, delays, and inconsistencies across the product development lifecycle.

Data Fragmentation: Product-related data (epics, user stories, code branches, etc.) is spread across various platforms (JIRA, GitHub, Slack, etc.), creating silos that hinder collaboration and visibility with different product teams.

Manual Workflow: Product managers and teams often perform repetitive manual tasks like creating and updating epics, story points, and branches, leading to errors and inefficiencies.

Task Assignment: Identifying the right product owner or team member to handle specific tasks can be difficult, especially when working in cross-functional teams or with a distributed workforce.

Lack of Automation: Without an intelligent, integrated system, product management processes are slow, error-prone, and lack real-time synchronization between development and project management tools.

InOpTra’s Gen AI team did a deep dive and suggested there was a need for a unified solution that can automatically integrate with multiple data sources (e.g., project management tools, version control systems, communication platforms), and streamline the process of creating and managing product work items like epics, stories, and branches. Additionally, the solution should automatically assign tasks to appropriate product owners, helping reduce overhead, maintain consistency, and ensure that teams focus on delivering value rather than getting bogged down in administrative tasks.
