Tempo brings together three product lines — Tempo, Strategic Roadmaps, and Structure PPM — into one connected system. Tempo is used by more than 30,000 companies, including one in three Fortune 500 organizations. Tempo's suite of solutions covers the full range of portfolio work, from individual projects to enterprise-wide programs: - Time tracking and financial management tools for logging hours, tracking costs, and managing budgets, capital expense, and operating expense across projects - Capacity and resource planning tools that show team availability, workload, and skill sets in real time, synced directly with Jira sprint data - Portfolio and program management tools that visualize multiple Jira projects, programs, and portfolios in a single, customizable view - Roadmapping tools that create shareable, audience-specific roadmaps for executives, product teams, and customers - Reporting and data visualization tools, including no-code dashboards, Gantt charts, and connectors for BigQuery, Tableau, and Power BI Organizations use Tempo to catch strategic drift before it compounds — the gap that opens up when plans, budgets, and delivery fall out of sync, especially as AI agents take on more work without filing a single status report. Instead of relying on quarterly planning cycles or scattered spreadsheets, planning and portfolio leaders get real-time visibility into where time, budget, and capacity are actually going, so adjustments happen before small gaps turn into missed deadlines or blown budgets. * * * Product Website Tempo Seller [Tempo](https://www.g2.com/sellers/tempo) Discussions [Tempo Community](https://www.g2.com/products/tempo-2026-05-04/discuss) Languages Supported German, English, French, Russian, Spanish Solution Type Best-of-Breed Overview by Bianca Gause (Director, Customer Advocacy | Scaling Customer Proof Infrastructure) Show More ## Value at a Glance Averages based on real user reviews. ### Time to Implement 1 month [ View More Pricing Information ](https://www.g2.com/products/tempo-2026-05-04/pricing) ## Tempo Integrations (4) What do users say about integrations?

RS Ryan S. CEO Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) 1/25/2022 "Integrated into Jira but frustrating at times" 3.5/5 What do you like best about Tempo? The single best feature of Tempo is its deep integration into Jira. Having all our data for time tracking and billing our clients in the same system where we do project management is a must. We aren't power users, necessarily, but we have tried various of the advanced features from time to time. At the end of the day, time tracking against tickets and simple reporting are its primary purpose, and it does it well. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Tempo? We've experienced data loss issues in the past, and more than once we've been frustrated trying to find the right combination of permissions and team assignments to ensure people who need access to the data have it. It's also disappointing that historical timesheet entries disappear for users you remove from your Jira instance. We've ended up having to export our data for historical record keeping purposes to avoid any sort of accidental data loss. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Tempo solving and how is that benefiting you? Our primary purpose is tracking time against tickets in client projects. Tempo is largely foolproof in this respect, and it's easy for project managers and are accounting team to bill the right client the right amount. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

MJ Maureen J. Tactical Product Team Lead Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) 1/25/2022 "Excellent Tool for Tracking Work Done in Jira" 5/5 What do you like best about Tempo? What I like best about Tempo is how seamlessly it integrated with my Jira project and allows us to track our time against our story cards. We also use it with our contractors which allows them to report back to their agency to run their billing for us. All around a great tool for allowing us to track time thoroughly against our programming stories. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Tempo? We did struggle with the initial setup to get the administrative assistant access to pull the timesheets for our contractors but we were able to figure that out with help from knowledge articles from the Tempo wiki. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Tempo solving and how is that benefiting you? Primarily we are solving tracking out our time against our Jira story cards, and our contractors use it to report time back to their agency for our billing. It works well for both of us and has helped us do a better job estimating our story points and our team's velocity against our budget. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

MK Matt K. Lead Technician Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) 1/25/2022 "Tempo includes the features and integrations that I need" 4/5 What do you like best about Tempo? We use Jira to manage our work, so Tempo was a natural choice for tracking our time. I use and appreciate the free version of Jira; whereas, tempo costs $100/year... we don't use Tempo for much more than time tracking, so I am tempted to look for free alternatives, but the price is relatively low, so it is not a top concern. I use Tempo to generate monthly reports for our customers, and these reports were simple to configure given that Tempo is so closely integrated with Jira. I use ManicTime to track my time, and I use the Tempo integration to automatically add my entries, so I don't actually use the Tempo GUI for much more than reports. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Tempo? As I mentioned, while I like Tempo and think it is a good value, I am aware of free alternatives. I have to do some finagling to get reports to focus on what I think is important and it doesn't seem like I can pull in Jira's custom fields to the reports. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. Recommendations to others considering Tempo: If you need to integrate with Jira and/or you use ManicTime to track your time then (with a little set up) you can use Tempo to track your time without actually having to work in Tempo (using the ManicTime integration). Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Tempo solving and how is that benefiting you? We track our time spent on Jira tasks. We our primarily interested in tracking our time that is billable to our customers, but we also track non-billable work to fill in our day. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

SP Sean P. System Administrator / Developer Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) 7/14/2022 "Great for tracking time bewteen multiple projects" 5/5 What do you like best about Tempo? The ability to enter our time in through JIRA, report through JIRA, as well as pulling entries directly from the API into our custom systems for billing. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Tempo? Sometimes the speed of running reports could be better. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Tempo solving and how is that benefiting you?

JM Jhony M. CEO Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) 8/3/2021 "Very good idea but needs some UI/UX improvement" 3.5/5 What do you like best about Tempo? It's great because enable my team and I to log all what we do on a daily basis. Each log is tied to a Jira ticket which makes easy to bill our customer at the end of the month. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Tempo? In one of the latest upgrades, the delete button can be triggered accidentally without any confirmation. I hate that. We have lost several logs due to this functionality. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. Recommendations to others considering Tempo: If your primary project management tool is Jira, then this product is for you. If this is not the case, I'd recommend considering other tools. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Tempo solving and how is that benefiting you? We use timesheets for 2 purposes: 1) to log everything our team does and know if everyone worked the expected amount of hours. 2) To bill our customer at the end of the month. We pull the logs, exclude the non-billable, and go from there. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Each user can choose their own adventure as to which view they use to log their time Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Tempo?

CP Carolina P. Project Manager Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) 2/15/2022 "Project Manager responsible to time tracking and resource planning" 4/5 What do you like best about Tempo? In the time entering window, I like that the information is pulled in directly from Jira, and the process is quick and straightforward. I also like the multiple view options - Timesheets, List, and Calendar. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Tempo? The resource planning gets messy very quickly. I'm limited with sorting it and don't have the "Monthly" recurring option in the main view. Just in the timeline view which gets even messier. There should be a weekly view as well. not just weeks and weeks at a time Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Tempo solving and how is that benefiting you? Time tracking is easier, reporting is easier, resource planning is easier but it's not quite there yet. The data gets easily skewed so that gets a little hard to manage Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Tempo allows me to report on developer hours for an epic project, broken down by tasks. Tempo makes it easier to produce reports for billable hours at the end of a project. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Tempo? It would be great to see an additional time filter for "anytime" since projects can go on for long periods or go on hold and then get picked back up months or years later. I don't want to figure out when the time frame of an epic project began. I want to choose an epic project and get the total logged hours. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Tempo solving and how is that benefiting you? Tempo has saved me hours at the end of epic development projects by allowing me to pull together developer hours in one report quickly and easily. I spent hours and days on the reports I can now do in minutes. Tempo is a time saver! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Chief Executive Officer Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) 2/3/2022 "A great tool to integrate time logging directly into your process" 4.5/5 What do you like best about Tempo? I like the ability of users to log time and submit proper timesheets. The ability to pull billable hours is critical as well for us to be able to deliver summaries to our customers. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Tempo? My users have a hard time navigating to the right views, and I sometimes struggle to find where to go on the cloud product to review timesheets or produce reports for customers still after years. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. Recommendations to others considering Tempo: I recommend doing regular tag ups with team members as you train them on the tool and using it yourself to make sure you understand what your team is doing in the tool. That will help a lot with adoption. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Tempo solving and how is that benefiting you? The tool is primarily used to provide detailed reports to customers and let me break down work logs for employees.
