Are you struggling with limited project visibility and unpredictable timelines?
How do you answer the critical question of when will this project realistically be done? Project managers often find themselves manually adjusting timelines, juggling tasks, and hoping their estimates are accurate. But without real-time forecasting and advanced scheduling capabilities, the risk of missing deadlines or overloading your team is high.
Run scenario models
Test different project plans to see how changes in resources or scope will affect your timeline before making critical decisions.
Optimize workloads
Ensure your team isn’t overburdened by balancing workloads across all projects. Resource management happens automatically, reducing bottlenecks and preventing burnout.
Bring in custom fields
Use Jira custom fields (dates, numbers, text) to further align your workflows and data reporting between the two platforms, giving you full control over how projects are tracked.
“Tempo uniquely uses effort and resource prioritization to drive expected dates that ultimately addressed our issue of shared, constrained resources. Other software highlighted potential issues, but no other solution showed the impact and gave information on how to resolve the conflict.”

Why integrate Portfolio Manager with Jira?
Managing your projects with Jira is a great start, but are you still finding it difficult to forecast accurate deadlines, balance workloads, and stay ahead of unexpected changes?
Stop relying on static timelines and manual updates. Start using Portfolio Manager and Jira combined to gain accurate forecasts, balanced workloads, and the ability to adapt to any changes that come your way.
Predictive scheduling
Our scheduling engine runs simulations that forecast realistic timelines, helping you hit deadlines even when priorities shift.
Scenario modeling
Confidently explore different project paths and understand the real impact of resource allocation and timeline changes before they happen.
Resource management
Automatically allocate tasks based on team availability, preventing overload and ensuring the right people are working on the most important tasks at the right time.
Real-time updates
Sync your Jira data into Portfolio Manager for up-to-date insights. Use manual syncs to push the latest forecasts and changes back into Jira, ensuring that everyone stays aligned.
“We use it for everything – scheduling, forecasting, efficiency reports, invoicing, you name it. A good chunk of my day is spent with Tempo, and it’s made us more efficient and profitable.”

How Tempo helped save BHS Robotics from project pandemonium
BHS Robotics is a world-class system integrator offering leading technology solutions, comprehensive capabilities, and extensive technical expertise.
Challenge
BHS Robotics faced two main challenges: Properly estimating timelines for custom orders and capacity issues related to engineering staffing. A surge of new orders and projects meant that these issues simply couldn’t go unaddressed for long.
To compound both of these problems, they were running outdated systems for tracking their resources and labor costs and they knew there had to be a better way.
Solution
Tempo reduced the calls from the sales and management teams to the engineering team requesting continuous status updates. Everyone can see an updated project timeline in real-time.
Teams are able to estimate project timelines more efficiently and accurately by allowing individual team members to update their projects and estimate their tasks. Additionally, each of BHS Robotics engineers, managers, and sales team members could foresee issues, allowing them to course-correct before it is too late.
Testimonial
I’ve gone through multiple programs with regard to resource and project management. Tempo is by far the best; it’s the only one that is truly fluid. It really helps plan the timeline for your projects and shows you the path of how you will achieve it.
