Hillchart alongside Jira

Use Hillchart alongside Jira for the project picture

Jira can track issues, while a hill chart answers a different question: how well does the team understand the work? Hillchart complements Jira; it is not a native Jira plugin or a replacement for issue tracking.

Track issues, discuss the shape

Keep issue-level work in Jira and represent meaningful project scopes in Hillchart to make their uncertainty and execution state visible.

Avoid a false roll-up percentage

A set of closed issues does not always show whether the central unknown is resolved. The hill gives the team another progress signal.

Share the project story

Use snapshots and view-only links to explain the state of the project to people who do not need Jira access.
