Tempo and JIRA are a great combination at any company. Even if you don’t currently think you need to track time, I would strongly recommend you develop that culture. It’s a culture of communicating, and it helps everyone make decisions about how they use their time. The most important tool that any leader has is simply how we use our time. If we don’t know what we’re doing, then we can’t make decisions about how to use this most precious resource.
Tempo has increased our internal knowledge management and productivity. Our Account Managers and Project Managers have complete transparency to see how a project is progressing; Tempo enables our management and team members to divide up time and resources properly.
Nobody likes to enter time! To help our organization get better insight into where we are in our delivery process, having up-to-date information about where resources are spending their time is important. Getting our engineers to enter their time helps us in this endeavor.
We searched quite a long time for a handy and secure workflow to manage the billing of hours worked on JIRA tickets. With Tempo we found what we were searching for. Only Tempo makes JIRAs worklogs manageable and gives us the transparency and security that we need.
We wanted the rollout of Tempo to reflect TM Software’s new image and service approach. After successfully implementing Tempo and JIRA, we experienced a marked decrease in wasted time and a concurrent increase in customer satisfaction.
The benefits of adopting the use of the Tempo solution for work requests and service visibility is considerable. We can save time by using only one system instead of several, and an overview of tasks and time registration makes efficiency noticeably better. The conclusion: the more the system is automated, the less time staff spends on the recording and completion of projects. Customers are happier because the system provides better control over their interests and reduces errors in billing.
I love the simplicity Tempo offers by supporting time registration directly within JIRA. Even though Tempo is a plugin from a different provider, Tempo and JIRA combined feels like a single solution. In reality, this means we have fewer systems to interact with and therefore spend more time focusing on delivering real value to our customers.
Tempo has helped us by providing a time reporting tool already integrated with our daily work (JIRA is our change management tool). Any other time reporting tool would be much higher level and would not be able to provide the detailed metrics we can get from Tempo. Tempo allows us to analyze where we spend our time and determine the cost of features and releases.
If you want to track time in JIRA, there is no better way than with using Tempo. Tempo is the most professional and useful JIRA plugin I have ever seen.
If companies are already using JIRA and want to improve their time tracking capacities, I would absolutely recommend Tempo. It successfully builds on JIRA’s own features to make them much more powerful. Any business using JIRA to do any kind of time tracking should seriously consider using Tempo as well.
Part of the potential of JIRA is to manage your planning and time tracking processes, not just run a helpdesk. Thanks to Tempo, XeniT was able to leverage JIRA and Greenhopper from an issue management system to a team management system. The introduction of tempo and JIRA actually motivated our team to improve their administration discipline. Tempo takes part of the burden of time registration out of JIRA, crucial to a successful adaption by our staff. We expect Tempo to continue improving our administrative productivity, and are very excited to learn about the upcoming resource planning capabilities. Tempo, JIRA and Greenhopper are instrumental for XeniT towards a “plan-do-check-adjust” cycle of quality.
Before implementation of JIRA bundled with Tempo and GreenHopper plugins, SKG personnel had to use four different systems for issue management, agile development planning and management and time tracking. Now all those areas are covered by one application and all data kept in one database. It must be noted that Tempo plugin reached the highest level of adoption in SKG from all used JIRA plugins. It perfectly fits to SKG time tracking needs both formal and operational ones.
