Moving to Jira Cloud, would I need an add-on like Tempo Planner?

We are moving over to Jira Cloud, but trying to determine if I would need a resource planning add-on, similar to Tempo Planner or Team Board? Or can Advanced Roadmaps accomplish this?

Also, does Jira Cloud have better time tracking reporting capabilities? Can I get better insight into daily time tracking without building out filters, basically a report?

Hi, @Jason Chayer. I'm afraid native Jira time tracking is about the same in Jira cloud. Most companies end using a marketplace add-on to do what you describe.

I'll let others speak to your Planner vs. Roadmaps question since I work for Tempo, but I will say this: Planner and Advanced Roadmaps are very different — they approach the challenge differently.  In the end, only you can decide which is the better fit for you, based on your use cases.

Good luck with your migration!

Thanks for the reply @Dave Rosenlund _Trundl_ . I had a feeling I would need an add-on.

Hi @Jason Chayer

For your time tracking needs on the Cloud, I would suggest you use a marketplace App to do this. This is to allow you to get better insights into daily time tracking just as you have mentioned. 

I would suggest you try out Clockwork because Clockwork provides you with a well-detailed out-of-the-box report of all the time logged by users and per issue.

This report can be broken down further into smaller bits and can be filtered by different components. It is also possible to download this report as a CSV file.

To track time in Clockwork, users can choose to do this automatically or manually.

When tracking time automatically, the timer starts when an Issue is transitioned to active status and stops when the Issue is transitioned into an inactive status category. You can also track time manually by using the "play" button on the Issue screen or the "+" button.

You can choose to use both methods at the same time.

I'll be happy to get you started.

@Adaeze_Jude_HEROCODERS 

Is there a dashboard in Clockwork that shows what tasks developers are assigned to? Or do you utilize Advanced Roadmaps for that?

We currently use TeamBoard, which has a time tracking dashboard and a dashboard of what tasks devs are assigned to.

Hi @Jason Chayer 

No, Clockwork does not provide a dashboard of the assigned tasks and does not use Advanced Roadmaps.

For now, Clockwork is used to manage time-tracking on Jira Issues.
