FAQ
Do I need to pay extra for your Jira time tracking plugin?
No. Planyway for Jira is an all-in-one app. It means that we bring time tracking, resource planning, roadmaps, portfolio, and reporting in one product, for one price. You don’t need to buy separate apps or modules as your needs grow.
Can I try Planyway for Jira before I buy it?
Yes. You can start a 30-day free trial from the Atlassian Marketplace, and setup takes just a few clicks.
There’s also a free plan: Planyway for Jira is a free app for teams of up to 10 users.
How do people log time with this Jira time tracking plugin?
Planyway lets everyone track time in the way that works best for them. You can log time right in a Jira work item or use Planyway’s List, Calendar, or Timesheet view to enter hours in bulk.
Here’s how:
- Start a timer on a Jira work item to track time as you work.
- Enter time manually, right in the Jira issue dialog.
- Add time entries in List view, with or without a timer.
- Click a time slot in Calendar view or drag a Jira work item onto the calendar to log time.
- Enter hours directly into a Timesheet cell for a specific task and day.
Every entry is saved as a worklog on the work item automatically.
Does Planyway use native Jira time tracking?
Yes. Entries sync both ways with Jira’s own Time Tracking field. Time logged in Planyway shows up on the work item, and time logged in native Jira shows up in Planyway. Original estimate, estimated time remaining, and actual time stay in the fields your team already uses.
Does Planyway track time automatically?
Planyway doesn’t run as an automatic time tracker that watches what’s on your screen. Instead, you get a timer that you start and stop on the work item itself. Most teams find this more accurate than automatic time tracking, because every minute is linked to a specific task and not to an open window.
Do I need a browser extension or other tracking apps?
No. Planyway runs inside Jira Cloud, so you don’t install a browser extension, and you don’t keep other time tracking apps in sync. Your team logs time in Jira, as part of the Jira workflow they already follow every day, so the time tracking experience stays in one place.
Can I log time that isn’t tied to a Jira work item?
No. Every entry belongs to a work item, so you never end up with free-floating work logs to sort out later. You can also edit or delete worklogs from the same place where they were added.
What reports come with your time tracking tool?
You get four built-in reports:
- Time tracking report: shows time spent, grouped by project, work item, epic, user or date over any range. It’s built straight from your Jira worklog data.
- Planned vs tracked: compares estimated time with time logged, so project managers spot overruns early.
- Team timesheet: shows hours per person, from a daily to a yearly view, which also makes capacity planning easier.
- Costs & revenue: turns logged hours into costs, revenue and margin, so you see what every project costs and earns.
Together they give you the complete picture of your team’s time management: where the hours go and what they cost. Also, our flexible reporting allows you to filter and group the data the way you need.
Can I export time reports for invoicing or finance?
Yes. Our Jira time tracking app can export your reports as an Excel or a CSV file. Your filters and sorting are kept, so the file matches the view you built.
Also, you can just copy a link to show it to someone inside Jira. In this case, your teammates open the view with the same data sources, filters and grouping. You can also mark working hours as billable, which makes it simple to send clients exactly what they’re paying for.
