Tempo Timesheet Integration for Jira Cloud

Tempo Timesheets Overview

Tempo Timesheets is an alternative time tracking solution for Jira. It’s really powerful and has a lot cool features. But sometimes it looks a bit too complex to start working with, so some users prefer to add Worklogs Report as a quick and simple way to report on spent time.

Tempo has a lot of extra data on top of logged hours, such as Accounts, Teams and other stuff. This data is securely stored outside your Jira instance, and no other 3rd party can access it without your permission. To provide Worklogs Report access to the Tempo data, you need to grant the access via OAuth 2.0.

IMPORTANT! If you are using Jira Server and Tempo Timesheets, you are all set out of the box. It just works.
