Jira Portfolio is planned based. A plan in Portfolio is a complete view of the tasks, teams, and release dates for your Jira projects.
Once you start to create a plan, there are three main factors you need to define:
With Jira Portfolio, you can create a visual timeline to gain visibility across each of your teams and projects in a single place from a granular level and review cross-team and cross-project dependencies to prevent bottlenecks. This visibility can help you plan realistic release dates and manage your team’s capacity. The solution allows you to try out different scenarios with your roadmap and resources to help guide your decision making. Once you have a solid plan, you can easily integrate with Jira Software and commit your changes.
Jira Portfolio allows managers to easily add team members. The tool’s powerful scheduling algorithm assigns tasks to teams while taking priorities and dependencies into account so it can create a realistic forecast for project completion.

Reviews from Real Users
Jira Portfolio stands out among its competitors for a number of reasons. Two major ones are its roadmap creation tools and its flexibility.
Meeta L., a lead product manager at a tech vendor, says, “The valuable features of the JIRA Portfolio are the customization it provides which is very useful and the Agile project management capability.”
Juan P., a senior IT project manager at Avantica, writes, “Portfolio helps us increase the visibility of projects' status and management with remote workers who make up most of the company.”
JIRA Portfolio was previously known as Portfolio for JIRA.

| Author info | Rating | Review Summary |
|---|---|---|
| Delivery Leader : Digital Productivity Studio at a energy/utilities company with 10,001+ employees | 4.5 | I primarily use JIRA Portfolio for project and portfolio management in the oil and gas sector. It effectively aligns with the scaled agile framework. However, its user experience is not intuitive, and it requires improved reporting templates and easier customization. |
| Subdirector of Support for Production at Servicios Electrónicos Globales -Oficial | 5.0 | I’ve used JIRA Portfolio for several years to manage projects and change processes, finding it intuitive, collaborative, and beneficial, despite a complex setup. Its cloud features and ROI have greatly supported our transition from tools like SharePoint. |
| Process Method and Tool Developer at a transportation company with 10,001+ employees | 4.0 | I use Jira Portfolio primarily for issue tracking and task management rather than project management or forecasting. While it's customizable with many add-ons, its response time needs improvement. We've begun transitioning to Codebeamer for new projects. |
| Senior Product Manager at Worex Technology | 4.0 | At our organization, we use JIRA Portfolio for agile functions like managing backlogs and planning sprints, finding it more effective than Asana. However, it lacks intuitive reporting and visualization features, which need improvement for better workflow customization and reporting capabilities. |
| Head Of Quality Assurance at Centrica | 4.0 | I started using JIRA Portfolio for development, finding its oversight capabilities and Kanban visuals valuable. However, it needs better integration with other platforms. Despite some performance issues, it remains the best tool I've used for software development. |
| Senior Project Assistant at Nexton | 3.5 | I find JIRA Portfolio simple to use, particularly with Azure Logic Apps. However, it needs improvement in providing a monitoring interface, allowing customer comments, and offering more online video resources to assist users in understanding the solution better. |
| Vice President, Consulting Services at Paradigm Consulting Group | 4.5 | In our organization, JIRA Portfolio supports Kanban and scrum-based agile development. While powerful with strong support and integration capabilities, its nonstandard interface and learning curve can slow adoption, especially for non-technical users transitioning from waterfall methods like MS Project Server. |
| Director of Product at Indian Institute of Management Bangalore | 4.0 | I use JIRA Portfolio for large-scale agile planning, benefiting from features like scenario planning and backlog grooming. While it reduces future issues, usability could improve with customizable dashboards. JIRA is more effective than Monday.com for team management. |
