Forecast is the best visual resource and portfolio management system for JIRA. With just one add-on, you solve the reporting issues on project portfolio progress, resource utilization, and financial accounting. The two-way synchronization enables easy collaboration across departments and becomes a single source of truth and a great way of running multiple projects at the same time.
“Now that we have time tracking in a system that connects with everything we are working on, our billable utilization has gone from an average of 40% to closer to 75%"
With Forecast for JIRA, your people scheduling, project planning, estimation, time tracking, and high-level portfolio overview will always be synchronized with current development tasks and issues. Easily estimate and plan new features, and they will automatically be synced to JIRA so critical information is shared, and collaboration is effortless.
Connect your Jira & Forecast for seamless synchronization across tasks, team members, time entries, and even sprint plans. The projects you choose to integrate can be planned in Forecast and worked on in Jira and/or Forecast. It only comes down to where you prefer to work.
Forecast’s AI eliminates day-to-day tasks for project managers by suggesting the right role match to complete the task and more precise estimates based on historical data. Scoping your project in Forecast and assigning your team members to tasks becomes way easier. Team members working in Jira are thus reflected in Forecast as virtual users, which works perfectly for planning purposes. The Schedule reflects their working hours and shows if they are over or under-allocated. When the project is scoped and approved by stakeholders, you connect it – or the other way around, with your Jira project, whereafter, team members working in Jira or Forecast can start collaborating and working on the tasks.
Plan your sprints in Forecast and see them reflected in Jira. The two-way sync enables transparency into every task where even comments, descriptions, and files are mirrored.
Make sure every team member – no matter what platform they prefer to work in are aligned. The two-way sync allows team members to collaborate on tasks, see time entries, and even communicate about the tasks. Everything is connected in real-time, so you don't have to play the messenger role between departments.
