Feedback from clients using our integration:

LABOR CAPITALIZATION CHALLENGES
Last year we undercapitalized labor by $1M due to having disconnected systems. This resulted in a budget reduction and restrictions on headcount increases by that same amount. By connecting Clarity and Jira together, we will be able to consume actual progress tracked by developers in Jira (where they already track their work) and feed that directly to Clarity. This is done behind the scenes which also greatly reduces the administrative overhead on the developers. The connector will not only give the development community the opportunity to spend less time on time-tracking activities, but it will also result in more accurate labor capitalization since the data being used for time-tracking is consumed at granular levels in Jira.

VISIBILITY AND INSIGHT
After a review and analysis of the work being tracked in Jira against our strategic portfolio, it was uncovered that the development community spent about 15% of their time on activities not anticipated in the approved portfolio. A root cause analysis determined that the lack of a connection back to a PPM tool where the strategic initiatives are maintained along with the flexibility of Jira, made it easy for the development teams to misidentify approved, strategic work. By connecting Clarity and Jira together, we were able to create fail-safes whereby Epics in Jira must map back to a Clarity project. This provides a level of structure for the development teams to ensure that their work is aligned to approved funding investments. This connection also gives us the ability to combine metrics in Clarity and Jira so that consolidated reports can be produced for decision-makers, thereby reducing the work required to produce those reports.”
