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?

The time entry is flexible but comprehensive so that you can log everything you need but the process itself is still simple. We also like the API so we can download details for reporting. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Tempo? In some cases the search functionality for finding a specific time slip does not seem to search correctly. Also, we have not found a way to remove old JIRA items from the search. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. Recommendations to others considering Tempo: It was very helpful to us to have test projects we setup to model how we wanted time logged and reported on before trying to use it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Tempo solving and how is that benefiting you? We have been able to migrate from a previous platform smoothly, we have all types of project time logged in the same place, and implemented the download of our timeslip details for internal reporting which is a big help for us.

P Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) 1/30/2022 "Tempo review" 5/5 What do you like best about Tempo? The integration into Jira is a huge time saver for us. Getting the team to enter time as they work tasks helps to make time entry more accurate. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Tempo? It's a little complex to set up the reports. But once you do, they are critical to tracking our monthly progress. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Tempo solving and how is that benefiting you? We are a consulting organization, so billable hours are critical to our business. Not only do we need to track the time of our consultants, but we also need to track what they were working on. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

As far as time tracking in Jira is concerned, Tempo is fantastic. It tracks time in issues efficiently and provides detailed analysis. Additionally, it works well with Jira's estimation; automatically subtracting time from estimates upon submitting work logs. It can also link work logs to commits in Bitbucket. I found the CSV export to be valuable in preserving records or providing clients proof for my invoices. It's gotten me out of two tricky situations. There is a mobile app as well (read my dislikes for more feedback on it). Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Tempo? The reason I stopped using it is that I was basically forced off of self-hosted Jira by Atlassian's decision to stop supporting those instances. As a result, I tried to migrate my self-hosted Tempo records to the cloud but this was so difficult it appeared impossible while working full time on projects for income. In the end, I switched to TMetric and found it was difficult to import Tempo time tracking into TMetric. I was able to enter total amounts but I'd have to add time tracking logs day by day manually. The mobile app was not so useful in the end because I couldn't stop a time log from it if I forgot to on the machine on which I started tracking. Being unable to control the time from tracking from a different device was an issue many times, whether through the app or simply from one computer to another. Lastly, I was disappointed that there was never a way to create an invoice from Tempo in PayPal or Quickbooks. I always had to go through all the records one by one and make line items in PayPal and Quickbooks for my invoices, costing me additional time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Tempo solving and how is that benefiting you? I was solving the problem of tracking my time for both billing clients and increasing efficiency. I would use Tempo's time logs to create invoices for clients who were on an hourly contract. I also used it for the estimation of projects and confirmation of correct estimation. By using Tempo, I honed my ability to estimate tasks and better plan my days and weeks. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Tempo? i do suggest preparing more reporting templates as not all users maybe familiar with the jira hierarchy (personally i think jira has a bit of a learning curve) - this is just more for catering to not having the same users whom setup jira as the person running tempo reports. eg i'm not sure if estimates against actual are available but it maybe a useful template. not having o365 via mobile.

DD Deniss D. Administrator-analyst Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) 11/9/2021 "Very helpful for our company to track time for every employee" 4.5/5 What do you like best about Tempo? When the time report is sent for review - the reviewer can understand which tasks the employee copes better with and which ones are worse. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Tempo? It was hard to implement time reporting for all of the employees, but it's not a problem of Tempo Timesheets but any new feature implemented in the company Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Tempo solving and how is that benefiting you? After analyzing which tasks are better to assign to each employee (by reported time) - the supervisor now knows what tasks should be assigned to each employee for best performance to complete this task.

AK Andrew K. COO Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) 8/3/2021 "Great Time Tracker for Atlassian Users" 3.5/5 What do you like best about Tempo? Tempo Timesheets integrates seamlessly with existing JIRA installations. By adding this application to your existing JIRA account, your team will have access to log their time directly to the tickets they work on without any additional steps. The inherent time submission and review process also ensures that only valid time entries are included in your data sets, which helps you invoice with greater accuracy. The reporting feature also provides several intuitive filters that allow you to sort through your time entry data and analyze the information you need. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Tempo? The billing integration with JIRA is not cost-effective, as the application requires that you pay for each existing JIRA user, as opposed to each individual Tempo user. In the event you have JIRA users that do not need Tempo, you will still have to pay a monthly Tempo service fee for those users. As is the case with most JIRA-based features, the permissions schemes can be a bit complex in terms of setup, which can be very challenging for users with limited JIRA experience. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Tempo solving and how is that benefiting you? Through the use of Tempo, our team is able to streamline the time entry process by limiting the number of applications and steps required for daily data entry. The versatile reporting features also allow us to analyze time entry data from a number of different perspectives so that we can better understand the efficiency of our team.
