With bi-directional integration with your CRM and custom triggers in place, opportunity details can be effortlessly captured to aid in planning client projects. The platform automates and governs the various phases of the request lifecycle, including submission, scoring, prioritization, routing, and approval, thereby streamlining the pathway for converting requests into actionable projects, tasks, or work items.

Tempo Structure PPM is a project portfolio management tool built for Jira that lets organizations visualize and manage projects, programs, and portfolios in a single, customizable spreadsheet-like interface. Users can create custom issue hierarchies beyond Jira's standard Epic > Story > Task model and aggregate data across multiple Jira instances. Key capabilities include epic tracking, sprint planning, dependency management, and the Structure Formula Assistant for natural-language formula creation. An optional Gantt Charts add-on translates real-time Jira data into visual timelines for roadmap and dependency management, and is bundled in the Advanced edition for teams that need integrated scheduling alongside portfolio reporting. Structure includes Rovo agents for Jira – Atlassian's GenAI product – such as the Structure View Builder, which assembles structures from natural-language requests, and a Structure Formula Assistant that writes aggregation formulas without manual syntax. It supports agile, waterfall, and hybrid delivery models and runs on Jira Cloud and Data Center. Structure PPM is part of Tempo's modular, Jira-native suite for Strategic Portfolio Management, connecting with Timesheets, Capacity Planner, Financial Manager, and Custom Charts so portfolio structure links directly to time, capacity, cost, and reporting data. Adopt one app or several – they work better together, with no separate platform to maintain and a single source of truth that stays inside Jira.
