Key highlights of the appSee estimates against actuals across every project, and catch an overspend while you can still do something about it
Estimate in the units your team thinks in
Set estimates in man-days, sprints or whatever resource block matches how your team actually plans. Units are managed centrally, so every project counts the same thing the same way.
Track actuals as the work happens
Actuals accumulate against the estimate on the issue itself. Rows turn amber as a project approaches its estimate and red when it is close to overrunning, so the warning arrives in time to act on it.
Report across the whole portfolio
One view of plan against actual for every project, down to resource level. See where the money went and which projects are heading for an overspend, without exporting anything to a spreadsheet.

More details
Most teams find out they are over budget when someone builds the spreadsheet at the end of the month. By then the money is spent.
CostGuard keeps estimates and actuals together inside Jira, so the picture is current and the warning arrives early.
