HERO SHOT — JIRA INTAKE WORKFLOW
Problem

Project intake for RBC's advisor wealth management platform was a bottleneck. Every incoming request sat waiting on manual handling before anyone could scope it, and getting to an initial scope took roughly 72 hours.

Approach

Traced where requests were stalling in the intake process, then designed an automated Jira workflow that triages incoming requests as they arrive and routes them with the information the team needs to size them.

Outcome

Initial scoping time dropped from 72 hours to 5 minutes, turning intake from a queue the team worked through into something that handled itself.
