Achieving Agile success requires more than just a set of tools. Instead, it demands a strategic approach to planning, resource management, and execution.

These tools seamlessly integrate with Jira to streamline project workflows and optimize resource allocation. So, let’s explore how these tools work together to help you achieve Agile project success.

Tempo Structure: Visualize, Track, and Manage Projects with Ease

Tempo Structure revolutionizes project management within Jira by providing a unified, spreadsheet-like view of Jira issues – from high-level initiatives to granular sub-tasks – across multiple projects and teams. Here’s how Tempo Structure empowers teams.

Automation and Real-time Updates

Next, the automation features in Tempo Structure, such as Generators, enable dynamic structures that update automatically as changes occur in Jira. Essentially, this ensures real-time progress tracking and eliminates manual data entry. That means you save time and improve accuracy.

Efficient Resource Allocation

By integrating with Tempo Timesheets, Tempo Structure provides insights into resource allocation and availability. Also, teams can track key performance indicators (KPIs) per team or account, enabling efficient resource allocation and informed decision-making.
