Jira Align helps you connect strategy to execution
Jira Align is Atlassian’s enterprise agile planning platform that connects strategy to execution across the entire organization.
It helps large organizations align their work, teams, and resources so that day‑to‑day delivery clearly supports strategic goals.
👇 Here’s an example of what Jira Align might look like for teams.
How your team can use Jira Align
Teams use Jira Align because it:
✔ Creates visualizations of work at all organizational levels
✔ Supports agile at scale frameworks with clear hierarchies and timeboxes
✔ Offers strong dependency management and cross-team reporting
✔ Prioritizes work to maximize customer impact rather than just tracking activity
👇 Click the tabs below to explore use cases about how enterprises thrive with Jira Align.
Portfolio managers use Jira Align to see where money and people are going, and whether those investments are paying off.
👉 For example: A portfolio manager at a global bank connects multiple Jira spaces into Jira Align to map work to epics and strategic themes. They use portfolio roadmaps and investment reports to see which initiatives are ahead or behind, then shift funding from low‑impact work to higher‑value programs.
