Summary

BNP Paribas, a leading global financial institution, needed a reliable way to track code ownership within Bitbucket. The native tagging approach they initially used proved insufficient, leading to limitations in clarity, governance, and compliance.

To resolve this, Dione Technology evaluated several options, from native Git features to Marketplace apps, and ultimately selected DevSensei PR Workflow Automation & Code Owners for Bitbucket by Communardo Products. The app offered clear and automated code ownership features, easy Bitbucket integration, and simple configuration, making it the best fit for BNP Paribas’ compliance-heavy environment.

With DevSensei, BNP Paribas achieved significantly improved transparency around code ownership, ensuring that Management and Risk teams had full confidence in responsibility tracking.

Challenge

BNP Paribas needed a way to closely track ownership of every piece of code across their repositories. As a financial institution, ensuring clear responsibility is not only an internal requirement but a core component of compliance and risk management.

The team initially attempted to address this using Bitbucket Tags, a native option that seemed straightforward. However, this approach quickly revealed several limitations:

• Tags became inconsistent and difficult to maintain.
• They did not enforce ownership.
• They lacked automation and governance features.
• They did not scale well across large, distributed development teams.

As a result, ownership visibility remained unclear, making audits and reviews more time-consuming and increasing risk exposure.

Results

BNP Paribas achieved excellent results following the implementation of DevSensei:

Clear Responsibility & Risk Reduction

The Management and Risk departments gained the transparency they required for governance and audit processes. Code ownership is now precise, automated, and reliable.

Zero Disruption for Developers

Developers experienced no negative impact in their day-to-day work. The tool runs simply in the background, adding clarity without adding overhead.

Confidence in Compliance

With ownership tracking fully automated, BNP Paribas strengthened internal compliance and reduced dependency on manual tagging or ad-hoc processes.

A Simple, Efficient Solution

As summarized by Dione Technology:

“Simple but efficient!”

Conclusion

Through close collaboration with Dione Technology and the adoption of DevSensei PR Workflow Automation & Code Owners for Bitbucket, BNP Paribas successfully resolved a key governance challenge.

The solution now provides reliable code ownership tracking, supports internal compliance frameworks, and enhances clarity for both Management and Risk teams, without affecting developer productivity.

This success story demonstrates how a targeted, well-integrated Atlassian Marketplace solution can bring significant value to enterprise environments with strict governance needs.
