Structure Enterprise Jira for Transparency and Control

A proven framework to eliminate Jira sprawl and connect daily work to strategic goals

This guide gives you the enterprise blueprint for turning Jira from a flexible but chaotic tool into a structured delivery system. It shows how to balance team autonomy with the control leaders need to drive portfolio alignment, financial accountability, and measurable outcomes.

Inside:

• Redefine Jira projects for scale: shift from initiative-based setups to durable value-stream structures that reduce duplication
• Balance autonomy with control: give teams decision space while maintaining the governance leaders need
• Standardise structures and workflows: improve adoption, data quality, and enterprise-wide visibility
• Align delivery with strategy: connect work to outcomes, shorten cycle times, and reduce governance risk
