Tempo Software, a leading provider of portfolio management solutions for product development organizations, announced an integration for Atlassian’s Jira Align to provide insights on how developer time is invested across product portfolios. Leaders of product and software organizations now have at their fingertips a trusted data source to calculate and understand their investments against strategic development themes.
The Timesheets by Tempo integration for Jira Align automates timely reporting and analysis of development investments, so that leaders can understand how much time it takes and costs for teams to develop and maintain every product. With a deeper understanding of how time is invested, product teams can more accurately and efficiently plan, budget, and track their investments for current and future enhancements. Developer time is a valuable and fleeting resource, and a clear understanding of their capacity enables the better management of time, priorities, and business opportunities for the organization.
