Polarion4U Milan 2025 was more than just an event — it was a proof point of how the Polarion community continues to evolve, and how Nextedy is helping customers succeed in that journey. From packed workshops to inspiring customer stories, this year’s edition gave us plenty to share.
🚀 Our Contributions at Polarion4U
We were proud to introduce the newest addition to our portfolio — Nextedy Powersheet: a smart, interactive, Excel-like multi-level view for traceability in Polarion. It’s part of our Traceability solution for automotive, aerospace, medical, and industrial teams.
Live in Milan, we showed how Powersheet makes the entire development chain visible on one sheet, boosting usability and adoption.
Our Risksheet workshops were packed with participants bringing real questions from their daily risk management practices. The discussions confirmed what we see across industries: Risksheet’s configurable, spreadsheet-like interface is exactly what organizations need to reduce effort and complexity.
And of course, our proven tools — Gantt, Planningboard, Scheduler — continued to draw strong interest as essential enablers for enterprise-scale program planning in Polarion. Together, they power our Project Management solution.
💬 What Customers Said
Several customer presentations underlined the value of Nextedy solutions:
Johnson & Johnson MedTech showcased how Risksheet helps them drive a risk-driven requirements process across multiple OpCos, reducing time spent on risk assessments by up to 50%.
Schaeffler demonstrated how Gantt enables them to transition from Jira, MS Project, and Excel to a unified Polarion environment — making large-scale program planning feasible. Our Project Management solution brings that kind of planning to Polarion.
Wärtsilä Energy shared how they orchestrate global projects using Gantt, a vital piece in achieving efficiency across distributed teams.
These success stories highlight our mission: making Polarion adoption not only possible, but enjoyable and productive.
🔑 Key Takeaways for Nextedy
From the conversations and sessions, a few themes stood out strongly:
Usability drives adoption. Teams don’t resist digitalization because of lack of features, but because of friction in daily work. Excel-like interfaces and familiar interactions remove that barrier.
Planning at scale is a must. Enterprises need reliable tools to manage dependencies, milestones, and resources — without leaving Polarion. That’s what our Project Management solution delivers.
Risk-driven requirements are becoming mainstream. In regulated industries, risk analysis is not an add-on, but a primary driver of system requirements.
🎉 Beyond the Sessions
Polarion4U is always about people. From packed workshops to community stories, to a surprise birthday serenade for our colleague Jiří — Milan gave us both professional inspiration and unforgettable memories.
