Story
Consumer Staples work at Altria spans more than one site, even when headquarters sits in the United States. Institutional knowledge was splitting across regional habits. Specialists and new hires asked for a shared way to run documentation without freezing local judgment.
Atlassian (Jira Service Management) is what they standardized on. Atlassian provides work management and DevOps software, including Jira and Confluence, used by software and business teams. Altria uses it as the system of record for institutional knowledge, with specialists and new hires as the primary operators and other groups coming in through the same queue.
Leaders get a picture they can actually walk. Teams get fewer mystery statuses. The story is about operating change, not an unpublished percentage.
