Hey everyone,
I’m looking for ways to log time in JIRA outside the default worklog option. I’ve discovered several add-ons and tools but am curious if there are more alternatives available.
A few that I’ve come across include:
- An Agile add-on
- A Worklog Assistant tool
- A tool called Hitsoft Timetracker
- A Universal Time Tracker
- An option for a Worklog sheet
- Some Atlassian Connectors
- A Tempo add-on
- A JIRA Client application
- A tool known as Talia
Has anyone used these or found other reliable tools? I would appreciate your input and any recommendations you may have.
Thanks for your help!
hey ive been using hitsoft timetracker for a while now. its pretty decent for basic time logging but lacks some advanced features. the interface is simple which is nice for quick entries. just watch out for occasional syncing issues with jira. overall its okay if u dont need fancy reporting stuff
I’ve been using the JIRA Client Application for time tracking, and it’s been a solid choice for our team. The desktop interface is a major plus - it’s much easier to log time without constantly switching browser tabs.
One feature I particularly appreciate is the ability to set up custom templates for recurring tasks. This has saved us a ton of time on regular project work.
The offline mode has also been a lifesaver when working remotely with spotty internet. You can log your time locally and it syncs up once you’re back online.
That said, it’s not perfect. The reporting features are a bit basic compared to some other options. If you need in-depth analytics, you might want to look elsewhere.
Overall, if you prioritize ease of use and desktop integration, the JIRA Client Application is worth considering. Just be prepared for a bit of setup time to get it configured to your liking.
I’ve been using the Tempo add-on for JIRA time tracking for about a year now, and it’s been a game-changer for our team. The reporting features are particularly useful for project management and client billing. We can easily generate detailed timesheets and export them in various formats.
One thing to note is that there’s a bit of a learning curve initially, especially if you’re setting up custom workflows. However, once you get past that, it’s quite intuitive. The mobile app is also handy for logging time on the go.
If you’re considering Tempo, I’d recommend starting with their free trial to see if it fits your needs. Just make sure you have admin rights in JIRA to fully explore its capabilities.
