Getting Started
What is Time Tracking & PPM?
Time Tracking, Resource Planning & Project Management is a Jira Cloud app that gives your team full visibility into workload, delivery health, and priorities - all inside Jira.
Core Value Proposition
- Track and approve time against Jira issues with a full timesheet and calendar experience
- Analyze team capacity and spot delivery risks before they escalate
- Score and rank your backlog using a configurable prioritization model (ICE, RICE, WSJF, and custom)
- Monitor portfolio health across all your active projects and initiatives with 6 visualization modes including Gantt
All of this runs natively inside Jira Cloud, using your existing projects, issues, and Jira user management - no external tools, no data exports, no setup overhead.
