Tempo 2026: Our vision for adaptive portfolio management
Tempo Team
You spent six weeks building the perfect quarterly plan. Every resource allocated, every dependency mapped, every timeline buffered. Then a key engineer resigns. A competitor forces a pivot. Three projects hit technical barriers simultaneously. By midweek, your beautiful plan needs a complete overhaul.
For decades, we've accepted this as inevitable. The chaos. The firefighting. The endless manual replanning cycles. The real problem isn't that plans are static – it's that updating them manually is slow, complex, and never-ending.
We want to change that.

Join Tempo CEO Vic Chynoweth and CRO Marie-Michele Caron as they share our vision for the future of portfolio management – intelligent systems that help you see bottlenecks before they surface, understand resource availability instantly, and replan faster when priorities shift.
A keynote session with Tempo executives
In this 16-minute keynote, you'll discover:
How Adaptive SPM will transform planning from reactive to predictive
Why AI-powered portfolio intelligence can spot patterns humans miss
How Collections provide a proven path to transformation, no matter where you start
Multiple pathways to build capabilities at your own pace while realizing immediate value
The replanning challenge
Traditional SPM gives you visibility into today. Every project, every resource, every dependency mapped in real time. But when change hits – and it always does – you're back to manual updates. Hunting down who's available. Recalculating dependencies. Rebuilding timelines. What should take hours takes days or weeks.
The organizations struggling most aren't the ones with bad plans. They're the ones where even good program managers can't replan fast enough to keep pace with change.
Our vision: Adaptive SPM
We're building something different. Adaptive SPM will help you see what's coming and adapt faster when priorities shift.
Instead of manually tracking down resource availability across teams, you'll see who's available when. Instead of rebuilding plans from scratch when an engineer leaves, you'll model scenarios quickly. Instead of discovering bottlenecks when projects slip, you'll spot them while there's time to act.
At the core of this vision are two innovations we're developing:
Adaptive Planner will bring intelligence trained on portfolio execution patterns. When a critical change happens, it won't just identify the problem–it will help you model solution paths optimized for different outcomes: speed, cost, quality, or risk.
Adaptive Insights will be the AI layer that spots patterns across your portfolio. It will learn which team configurations deliver faster, which dependencies create the most delays, and where resource constraints appear before they become crises.
Our Early Access Program is currently open to partners and customers who want to help shape this future, and look out for the waitlist as we approach the launch. You can still sign up here.
Start your transformation today: Collections
While we're building Adaptive SPM, you don't need to wait to improve how you plan and manage portfolios. Collections provide four proven pathways in Jira to build the data foundation, team alignment, and portfolio visibility you'll need – whether you're preparing for adaptive intelligence or solving today's challenges.
Each collection is designed for different teams and stages of transformation. The modular approach means each builds on the last: timesheet data feeds capacity planning, capacity enables program governance, program data drives portfolio insights, and portfolio intelligence informs strategy.
Explore Collections to find your starting point.
Join us in shaping the future
The organizations that thrive in the next decade won't be the ones with the best plans. They'll be the ones that can adapt those plans faster than their environment changes.
We're building the tools to make that possible and we want you to be part of the journey.
