🍂🎃 Apptoberfest '25 discussion: Apps for Strategy & Planning

[Mario GELES]

In my compagny we use Jira Product Discovery to evaluate and plan ideas.

And Xray to test the features made by our dev and decide if it's ok for deployment or if it returns in developpement

[Vanessa Rose]

The tools from Tempo Software and Appfire are simply unbeatable.

[Fernando Madrid]

Bigpicture is a good one!

[Liz Tanner]

I use similar apps across a couple of workspaces with a few connectors. But, if I had to choose top 3 Atlassian apps, only, it would be Plans in Jira, Automations in Jira, and eazyBI. Plans would be for the roadmapping/capacity; Automations for getting repetitious actions knocked out while team focuses on tasks requiring expertise and specialization; and eazyBI for analytics and audits.

[Marc - Devoteam]

Hi OKR board and automation for Jira help me a lots in planning and repetitive tasks in JIra

[Duc Thang TRAN]

For me, BigPicture  combined with Tempo provides better planning and capacity management.
The second choice is Plan (Advanced Roadmaps), which is less versatile than BigPicture but simpler to implement.

[Eric Pozzobon]

Time in Status - https://marketplace.atlassian.com/apps/1219732/time-in-status has been very useful to help our capacity planning!

[Cornelia Jeppsson]

We have not needed any marketplace apps for tracking our OKRs so far; the built in Jira Plans are so good on meeting our needs here! 

[Carol Lage]

I really like to use Jira Product Discovery and the integration with Jira and Confluence is great.

[Urmo]

Also alternative for simple way is use Trello for planning. Its good alternative for personal life Google Keep.

[Piyush Annadate _ACE Pune_]

OKR oBoard and/or EazyBi 

[Karan Sachdev]

Its great to to see so many helpful recommendations!!

[Maria Rusnakova]

Several of these apps look really good, but haven't used them yet.

[Mariano Tallarico _Appricity_]

Fantastic wrap-up to Apptoberfest! 🎯 Strategy & Planning apps are game-changers for keeping teams aligned and focused on shared goals. We rely on a few key Marketplace tools to visualize roadmaps, track progress, and turn strategy into action. Can’t wait to hear what others are using to level up their planning! 🚀

[Weronika Hałdaś_Deviniti_]

I'm not really into strategy and planning myself, but even so, EazyBI is the first thing that comes to mind when it comes to reporting, and that already says something 😄

[Julie Kremp]

I currently do not use it in my current company, but I believe it would be essential to use Izi for LMS integrated with my Confluence content.

[Philipp Sendek]

For me, it's Rich Filters, Structure and BigPicture at top of the list
