JIRA Portfolio makes it easy to plan across multiple projects and teams
Agile is centered around self-organizing teams, so when multiple agile teams work together, it becomes harder to track progress across the organization. JIRA Portfolio allows you to aggregate the work from multiple agile teams and roll them up into larger initiatives, connecting your business strategy with development reality.
By harnessing the power of your existing data in JIRA with JIRA Portfolio, you can:
- Instantly forecast realistic release dates
- Optimize your schedule in real time
- Get visibility on the status and progress across projects and teams
- Manage team availabilities and skill sets
- Keep track of business goals and resource investments
