Jira time tracking availability after January 2025

[Cynthia MacHatton]

I am getting a message that Jira time tracker lite will no longer be available after Feb 1 2025, and to try a new Tempo time tracker that will need additional licensing and future costs.
Does this mean there will no longer be time tracking included in my company jira subscription, unless we pay for this additional feature?

Hi @Cynthia MacHatton 

As an alternative, for time tracking, you may want to try out our add-on.

Worklogs Time Tracking & Timesheets

With this add-on, you can easily view all time entries for multiple issues day wise grouped by in a single view. Main features of the app -

• Create time reports in real time by grouping & categorizing data with aggregation
• Prepare your reports based on Project/Sprint/Issue Type/Assignees and various other filters
• Group your data to build more meaningful reports
• CSV Export
• Dashboard gadget
• Enter Time Spent for multiple issues from Timesheet screen

(Disclaimer: I work for RVS, the vendor for this app)

Hello @Cynthia MacHatton ,

If you will be looking for a replacement for the current time tracking app, then I can suggest our affordable and equally sophisticated app developed by SolDevelo development team called "Worklogs - Time Tracking and Time Reports".

Worklogs allows you to easily and effortlessly overview your and your co-workers' logged work within a chosen date range:

With the wealth of filters, you are able to differentiate between the user's time spent on issues, projects, epics, subtasks, sprints, story points and more!

Moreover, you can save the filtered worklogs as a report and then even export it to a spreadsheet XLSX file.

You can try out the app for free for 30 days through our marketplace page.

You can also book a demo with one of our experts and we will showcase the app and answer any questions you might have, or you can contact us through the portal here.

Glad to help!
Tomasz
SolDevelo Team

@Cynthia MacHatton, I don't think this is a message from Atlassian. It sounds like the announcement is related to this app: https://help.tempo.io/timetrackerlite/latest/

Hi,
Worklogs are Jira's own entities and even if you were using a 3rd party application, worklogs are probably available after uninstalling the app. That means you can try another app from the marketplace.  If your current app is not storing worklogs in Jira's own database, I strongly suggest you switch to another application to prevent vendor lock-in.

OK, thank you. That is what I thought.

[Cynthia MacHatton]

We had to pay for an upgrade/plug-in to be able to continue time tracking. 

[Susanne Moore]

I think I can respond. No this is not a plugin that I can find anywhere on our Atlassian "Products" page, there lies the confusion. Does Jira have a comparable product as part of our monthly subscription? 

If not, then it looks like we need to find a new product or upgrade to Tempo Time Tracking. Is this your understanding as well?

Is this plugin from Tempo ?

[Cynthia MacHatton]

The servlet plug in TimeReports has been part of our atlassian jira set up for many years and is a standard tool we use at my company. I don't see mention of tempo anywhere other than this warning about deprecating TimeTrackerLite. Maybe tempo provides atlassian the plug in functionality?

Sounds like you are saying we may have a separate license already set up with tempo over the past many years - I'm unaware of that but can research.
