Resource Management for Jira
Resource Management for Jira is a cloud-based app for the Atlassian Jira platform, built on the Atlassian Forge framework. It provides portfolio resource management at scale by combining Jira work items, staffing plans, and financial constraints into a single view. The application helps organizations match demand to real capacity by offering enterprise-grade organizational structure management, calendar-based capacity planning, and structured resource requests with approval workflows. It also includes time reporting and timesheets powered by Jira worklogs, advanced analytics, vacation tracking, and executive reporting with export capabilities. The app runs natively inside Jira, providing a familiar interface for project managers, team managers, and team members, while ensuring data is stored in the Atlassian cloud with Atlassian-native security. The product solves the coordination problem that arises when multiple projects compete for the time of the same specialized teams. It enables structured resource request workflows between project managers and team managers, allowing for validation of trade-offs before commitments are made. With high-density coordination features, such as one-click Jira task creation and compact visual layouts, the app facilitates collaboration between resource teams and projects. The tool also provides a 1-minute precision tracking of planned versus actual work, using baselines from approved allocations and actuals from Jira worklogs, making it easy to detect overcapacity and handle deviations early. Beyond project and team managers, the app benefits PMO and portfolio stakeholders through clearer rollups and capacity risk visibility, HR and resource governance via hierarchical org structures and scoped manager access, finance and client invoicing with reliable time reporting, and team members through a fast time-reporting flow. It integrates with enterprise systems via REST API, allowing synchronization of org structure, rates, and calendars

Problem solved
Portfolio resource management at scale is fundamentally about coordination. When dozens of projects compete for the time of the same specialized teams—engineers, designers, QA—organizations lose visibility into capacity and make commitments without knowing the real demand. Resource Management for Jira solves this by providing a centralized view of demand vs supply, structured resource requests, and real-time capacity insights inside Jira, enabling better planning and fewer missed deadlines.
