🍂🎃 Apptoberfest '25 discussion: Apps for Strategy & Planning

Kelsey Van Scoy

👋 Hi Community! We’re excited to bring you our final Apptoberfest '25 discussion topic—this time, we’re spotlighting Apps for Strategy & Planning!

Atlassian’s Marketplace features a diverse range of apps purpose-built to streamline roadmapping, goal tracking, workflow automation, and more—empowering teams to plan and execute strategy more effectively.

We’d love to hear from you:
Which Marketplace apps are essential to your strategy and planning processes? How do teams in your organization use these tools to centralize strategic information, unlock deeper insights, and automate routine work?

Let us know! 👀

Hi Kelsey and Atlassian Community

As a Chief Web Developer working in Italy, I have found that strategy and planning tools from the Atlassian Marketplace make a huge difference in keeping projects on track - especially when managing multiple updates for our financial tools and websites

Personally, I rely on Advanced Roadmaps and OKR for Jira to keep our development goals aligned with overall product strategy. The visibility they offer - from sprint planning to release tracking - really helps our remote team stay focused and accountable. We’ve also started using Automation for Jira to handle repetitive tasks like status updates and issue transitions, which saves hours every week.

These apps don’t just improve workflow; they help transform how our small team approaches long-term planning with clarity and data-driven insights.

Best regards

A.A. Silkina

I definitely use Advanced Labels!

OKR Board and BigPicture stand out to me.

We use Elements Publish to help with creating Confluence pages and Jira tickets from JSM tickets. Helps people with other licences to track their work.

Rinjini Poddar

eazyBI Reports and Charts for Jira, Easy Agile Programs for PI Planning, and Plans in Jira are user-friendly tools equipped with advanced features that support effective strategy development and planning.

Jason U

Rich Filters and Plans for sure!

Staffan Redelius

Easy Agile Programs for PI Planning gives you more in depth capabilities for planning at scale

Currently my org isn't using any app from the Marketplace, but I am here for all the suggestions! 🤩

Tomislav Tobijas

Well, depends on what kind of planning we're talking about, but generally our clients and we usually lean towards Jira Plans (not an app, I know) and BigPicture. 📈

Then, if we talk about some kind of capacity planning, BigPicture is still in the game, with Capacity Planner from Tempo also having some nice features related to projecting team or individual capacity. Also, a new player (at least for us) is Activity Timeline, which also serves as a nice capacity planner. 📊

I think BigPicture is my favourite

Mario GELES

In my compagny we use Jira Product Discovery to evaluate and plan ideas.

And Xray to test the features made by our dev and decide if it's ok for deployment or if it returns in developpement

Vanessa Rose

The tools from Tempo Software and Appfire are simply unbeatable.

Fernando Madrid

Bigpicture is a good one!

Liz Tanner

I use similar apps across a couple of workspaces with a few connectors. But, if I had to choose top 3 Atlassian apps, only, it would be Plans in Jira, Automations in Jira, and eazyBI. Plans would be for the roadmapping/capacity; Automations for getting repetitious actions knocked out while team focuses on tasks requiring expertise and specialization; and eazyBI for analytics and audits.

Marc -Devoteam-

Hi OKR board and automation for Jira help me a lots in planning and repetitive tasks in JIra
