No. The two tools work together automatically, and changes made in one tool are transferred to the other in real-time. This is possible via a bi-directional synchronization that updates data within seconds.
Jira is an agile project management tool developed by Atlassian. It is one of the most liked and widely deployed issue-tracking solutions worldwide. Its purpose is to help teams plan, track, and release software projects quickly and efficiently.
IT departments love it for its ultra-simplistic approach to workflow-style task management. Developers like its tight integration with IDEs and source code management systems such as GIT and SVN.
Jira was originally designed for bug tracking, but it has become a much more versatile tool that can be used for requirements management, test management, software development, and more. Today, Jira allows managing sprints, organizing workflows, and reporting on progress.
Jira is a great tool but falls short when companies need standards-based project and portfolio management (PPM) or detailed resource planning. Planforge closes this gap by synchronizing its PPM software with Jira.
Project managers love Planforge for its support of the entire project life cycle from start to closure. Decision-makers like its real-time dashboards and quick access to relevant project data such as KPIs and resource utilization.
The bi-directional Jira Integration synchronizes data of the two tools and provides additional features, such as budgeting, forecasting, resource management, or portfolio analysis for Jira projects. This ensures that managers make better decisions on, e.g., on which projects (not) to implement.
With Planforge, project managers can plan projects and resources in detail while keeping an eye on effort, costs, and risks. Meanwhile, developers and IT teams work entirely in Jira.
By integrating the two systems, information such as issues, tracked time, and progress, and even Agile Release Trains are automatically synced. On top of that, Jira is extended by standards-based portfolio and resource management, as well as Enterprise Agile Planning (SAFe®).
Create teams, allocate resources or teams to work packages, and plan milestones. Visualize dependencies and uncover what impacts project completion.

"Basically, everyone is working in an agile way at the team level, but at the end of the day, we still need traditional metrics and KPIs to make informed decisions."
