Why it works

The case study earns its competitive switch flag with a specific, named criticism of Jira from a credible source, the incoming VP of Engineering, which grounds the before-state without feeling manufactured. The mechanism is concrete enough to follow: Stories as source of truth, Slack integration to capture context, and IFTTT Applets to automate downstream updates. No headline metric appears, which keeps this Solid rather than Strong, but the operational detail compensates somewhat.

Steal this

Let the customer's own product demonstrate the vendor's value. IFTTT built Applets that automate Shortcut activity, turning the case study into a live proof of their platform while simultaneously showing Shortcut in action.
