If you use this addon you take more time to contact support about bug than make your planning.

There is some serious functionality that missing i this add-on. - I don't see the total hours planned within the planning calendar. I must go to the capacity report to see that. - there is no possibility in the planning mode to have a single user planning (this is possible only from the personal timesheet, and only daily planning is supported, not weekly or monthly). - there is no possibility to plan monthly or weekly plans, and then break them down into higher resolution. For example, I plan 40 hours in the next month for some Epic, and then I breakdown those 40 hours into a higher resolution plan of 20 hours in week 2 and 20 hours in week 4. The default is linear planning, 10 hours per week, and it just takes too much time to prepare a high resolution plan . Eventually I found that planning in Google sheet is faster, because it shows you in real time how many hours you planned for each story and for each week (without the need to go to a separate capacity report)

I was looking for something similar to a drop plan extension available for VSTS and found tempo. It is similar indeed, but it is not tied to the sprints, or work planned for the sprint. You would have to put issues one by one manually into the timeline, as well as you can add the same issue multiple times. Very unclear UX, that's why we won't proceed with Tempo Planner implementation.

Tempo have been through a lot of changes in the past 18 months (so I've been advised by their Product Manager), as the business has moved from their old model to being a SaaS provider. This was forced on them by Jira, who were forcing all their partners (add-on providers) to switch to their new model. The reason I am mentioning this is because it has had a significant impact on the solutions they provide. This has meant the best part of 2017 to-date, that they have had major performance issues with the products. Which has resulted in pages either take a very long time to load (minutes), or just not loading at all. In fact I attended a product Webinar, where even their presenter had issues with both slow and/or not loading pages throughout their presentation. They have been working hard over the last month or so, and are reassuring their consumers this will continue to improve as they work closely with Jira to optimize the performance. However this still should be considered when deciding if this product is ready enough for your business/needs. When all said and done this is a great product, which has only been let down by its recent performance issues. I am hopeful they will get over these issues and continue to develop what is a great product. It's only other down fall is the lack of up to date documentation, although if you are computer literate like myself, you can fudge through most of it without any major problems. Whilst they do have a great helpful support team always willing to help. They have also just started up Webinars to help explain recent changes, that they have/or about to make which are different to their documentation. This is a great move and should help new admins understand the system better, allowing for quick fire questions to be raised throughout it. This is truly a great product, which at least suits a software house such are ours 100% along with Timesheets. We are able to both Plan in our our development work with various teams, and also record the amount of time/effort it has taken against the plan. This helps us as a business record and recover costs that have been used to deliver our software solutions. While also allowing us to learn from past jobs and improve our work estimates on similar future work. The performance issues are still the biggest risk with this product, which is why I would warn any business to use a sense of caution in considering this product. However that said is defiantly one I would bookmark, and keep your ears open to news of these issues being a thing of the past.

Hi James,

Thanks you for your comprehensive review of our product Tempo Planner.

As you rightly state, we have had some lag issues recently which we have been working hard to address. The changes that have been made to our systems, will only benefit our customers in the long run and these are changes that had to be made from a business point of view.

We are working very hard to improve our documentation and we note that this is a work in progress.

Thank you for being a customer and we very much look forward to servicing your organisation for many years to come.

Kind regards,

Wir nutzen das Plug-in schon produktiv, trotz noch vorhandener Schwächen und Bugs. Ich denke eine kostenlose Test-Phase wäre besser gewesen und dafür Geld zu nehmen kommt einem manchmal frech vor, aber man muss den Entwickler zu gute halten, das sie stetig am Modul arbeiten und Verbesserungen einbringen.

Tempo for JIRA

Hi Dominik,

Thank you for leaving feedback regarding our product Tempo Planner.

I am not a German speaker, so just to be clear, your review translates to something similar to:

"We use the plug-in already productively, despite still existing weaknesses and bugs. I think a free test phase would have been better and to take money for it sometimes seems cheeky, but you have to consider the developer to be good, that they constantly work on the module and make improvements."

After much discussion, Tempo decided to move most planning features from Tempo Timesheets to Tempo Planner. This change allows our Tempo Timesheets team to concentrate their effort on improving solutions to time tracking. Only individual planning will be possible in the new version of Tempo Timesheets Cloud for JIRA. Users can plan for themselves in the Calendar view (you can read more here). Planning for team members and the planning approval process are now within other planning resources in Tempo Planner. Planning approval is not currently available, but is being implemented.Improvements to planning time in Tempo will, of course, continue. Our Tempo Planner team has added key resource management features that customers used to planning in Tempo Timesheets can use:

Capacity reporting
Workload overview
Demand management

I hope this goes some way to explaining the recent update.

Kind regards,

David Wilkie

Finally a product that is not a dead end in terms of compatibility with others systems (csv, rest json , ...), we've been able to export plan time in some specific view with great business value for us, Still not perfect in term of time efficiency if you choose to plan smaller tasks. would be nice to have a button to transform planned time into timespent.

Tempo planner have transformed the way we work, with 200+ staff, we were always struggling with resource allocation. Some staffs we always full and other were not fully utilised. Tempo planner, gave us a holistic and real time view of what's happening within each project team and the whole unit. Tempo planner has helped us save a huge figure on our yearly expenses. Really happy.. and we hope it keeps improving.

We are using this plugin for about a year together with Budgets and Timesheets. Compared to our previous home-made app it has added a centralized, structured resource and project management, which empowered both team leads and team members to communicate and coordinate on operational and strategic team efforts. It is used for both functional (projects, efforts and initiatives) and organizational (vacations or training) planning perspective and helpful for overview of cross-project work. One remark I have is that would be good to separate planning approval process from worklog approvals - this is the issue we currently have in our organization but hopefully it will be addressed soon.

by Angela Campbell on 2017-10-20

We have been working with Planner for one year, having upgraded from a shared google spreadsheet to manage our 100+ projects and our 150+ staff. Allocation can now be done for the length of a project assignment, not just 3 weeks as we did previously. We can look at capacity across departments, which informs our hiring needs as well as sales. With the timesheet integration, staff are always aware of what projects they should be working on and when. This is invaluable as staff often work across multiple projects at a time for multiple project managers. The sizeable and costly weekly resource planning meeting is no longer required - timely and accurate data is now available to everyone at the same time. One of the keys to our successful upgrade to this software, was having a small group work with it during a closed trial phase, creating and testing processes then documenting them. This group then became in-house support during the office-wide implementation. We found the support team at Tempo to be responsive, and knowledgeable which also contributed to our successful roll-out.

We moved to Planner from Project Server about 18 months ago for a number of reasons, cost and resource management capabilities at the top of the list. As a digital agency, our primary challenge is projecting and allocating staff to a number of different projects. While there was a little bit of a trial-and-error in setting it up (plan on a month or so to work out kinks), the increase in visibility into staffing projections, and decrease in the effort required to maintain project plans, has been significant for our leadership and project management teams. When used with Timesheets, the add-on is even better. We have had some challenges with load and scroll times for larger plans - reading review comments below it sounds like Tempo is actively working on this. As a side note, I have found the Tempo product management team to be very open to feedback and suggestions, and also transparent with what they have in the works. I would encourage customers to reach out to them with their challenges and ideas.

Hi, we are a small company below 10 users. Recently we were upgrading from JIRA 6.x to the latest (together with Tempo) But I was shocked to see that the server version is $100 instead of the standard $10 (for this amount of users). We'd like to continue using Tempo, but can't afford to pay 10 times more than we payed initially. Out of curiosity, why the difference between cloud and server?

Hi Lucian,

To answer your question, the server is tier-based perpetual license with 50% annual renewal while the cloud is user-based license offered as monthly or annual subscription. You may also get in touch with us here if you have further questions.

by Gregg TeHennepe on 2017-04-04

3/17/17: I've spent several days working with Tempo Planner, looking to develop it as a replacement for the MS Project and Excel tools I currently use to manage a team of 35 across 30+ projects. Here is what I have found so far: 1. It's not intuitive, and the help materials are limited. Walking through the videos helps, but it's just a start, and there are some areas that I can't find any good documentation on (like the concepts behind time periods and percent efforts for resources, and how they relate to capacity planning). But then MS Project is anything but intuitive, so I'd like to think my expectations here are realistic. 2. Planner seems to be able to do about 50% of what I need, but what I really need is the ability to do the following: a. Look at resources over time from a project/sponsor perspective, ie who is on a project at what effort for the next 12 months. b. Look at resources over time from a resource manager perspective, ie organized by staff member. Ideally I’d be able to associate a manager with each resource and filter by that to get the resource manager view. c. Look at projects over time from a staff perspective, ie what am I as a team member assigned to at what levels for the next 12 months? d. I also need to be able to characterize the team utilization, ie compare capacity to utilization to say what percentage of the team is assigned to a project. I currently do this in Excel. UPDATE 4/4/17: Tempo has gotten in touch with me and I've had a good conversation regarding the current offering and the future roadmap. I've learned about an alternative approach that may help me in the short run to accomplish the second need above, and in the long run, Tempo is working towards a solution that meets most the needs I describe above (not sure about c, but it's the lowest priority for me). They also mentioned that they are working to bring the cloud and server versions onto the same code base, which will have many obvious benefits for customers and Tempo.

Surely very good for big big development organization. But for a small startup like mine, it is really really really too complicated... I tried to understand via the webinar. But It became more more sophisticated and I was completely lost after 20min... Maybe you should organize a special Webinar for small companies like mine...

Paid-via-Atlassian pricing FAQ

How does cloud app pricing work?

Cloud pricing is subscription based. You are eligible for support and automatic version updates as long as your subscription is active.

When your subscription renews each month, you are automatically billed for host products and apps based on the number of users in your instance.

If app pricing changes after your initial purchase, there's a 60-day grandfathering period during which you can renew based on the old pricing.

How do I determine my cloud pricing?

Apps are billed based on the number of users in your host product. Jira Cloud apps are priced based on the maximum users of the Jira products on your instance. For example, if you have Jira Software (50 users) and Jira Service Desk (10 agents) on the same instance, you pay the 50-user price for apps.Note: While this app has features specific to Jira Service Desk, the app is technically available across the whole Jira instance. Therefore the above guidelines for licensing across maximum users still apply.

The pricing structure for cloud products and apps is as follows:

Monthly subscriptions with up to 10 host product users are billed at a flat rate price.
Monthly subscriptions with more than 10 users are billed per user, starting at the first user.
Monthly subscriptions with more than 100 users are billed per user. The table above provides example pricing at various user levels.
If per-user pricing is not yet available for this app, please contact the vendor for further information.

If you've opted for annual billing for your host product, apps are also billed annually at a discount (12 months for the price of 10).

Do you offer academic, community, or open-source licenses?

Academic, community and open source licenses are not available for cloud apps.

Can I extend my free trial?

For cloud apps, you cannot extend your free evaluation period. All cloud apps are immediately subscribed by a user, and we provide a free evaluation period. This is a minimum of 30 days and ends on the second billing cycle after you first subscribe to the app.

Paid-via-Atlassian pricing FAQ

How does server app pricing work?

Server products and apps are hosted on your servers. Licenses are perpetual and the purchase price include 12 months of maintenance (support and version updates).

You can renew maintenance after 12 months at 50% of the current purchase price. You can upgrade the tier of your host product and app licenses at any time. Upgrade prices are calculated based on Atlassian's formula (view example).

If app pricing changes after your initial purchase, there's a 60-day grandfathering period during which you can renew based on the old pricing.

How do I determine my server pricing?

Apps are billed based on the number of users in your host product. For Jira Server 7.0 or later, the app tier should match the maximum tier of the licensed Jira products on your instance. For example, if you're running Jira Software (50 users) and Jira Service Desk (10 agents) on the same instance, you should purchase the 50-user tier for apps. For versions of Jira Server prior to 7.0, the app tier should match the licensed user tier for Jira. Even if fewer users want to use the app than your Jira license, the two licenses should match exactly.Note: While this app has features specific to Jira Service Desk, the app is technically available across the whole Jira instance. Therefore the above guidelines for the license tier still apply.

Do you offer academic, community, or open-source licenses?

For server apps, purchase and renewal is half-price if you have an academic license for your Atlassian host product. Server apps are always free for community and open-source licenses.

For more details about qualifying for special licenses, see here.

Can I extend my free trial?

For server apps, you can extend your app trial up to 5 times - in other words, for up to six months. Extend your trial by generating a new evaluation license key from Atlassian Marketplace. Click Try it free and you'll be directed to generate a new license. Paste this license key into the app listing in UPM from your Atlassian host product, and you're all set.

How can I buy apps for my legacy Jira Server or Confluence Server license?

If you own a legacy Jira Server Unlimited (100+ users) or Confluence Server Unlimited (2000+ users) license purchased in 2012 or earlier, legacy app pricing is no longer available. You have two options for app purchasing:

Purchase the app at the non-legacy Unlimited (10000+ users) tier.
Renew your Jira or Confluence license at a non-legacy tier, then purchase the app at the same tier.
