Most teams plan in spreadsheets – then spend the rest of the quarter chasing updates, reconciling stale data, and wondering why the budget page and the actual work never seem to match.

Atlassian Product Managers will walk through how Jira’s capacity planning, formula fields, and space insights connect your plans, budgets, and reporting into the same system as the work, so your information is always current and your AI tools actually have the context to help.

You'll learn how to:

  • Plan team capacity in Jira so you know who's overloaded before it becomes a missed deadline, no spreadsheet required.

  • Use formula fields to run budget calculations, prioritization scores, and ROI tracking directly on your work items — recalculated automatically as work gets logged.

  • Build live dashboards that don't go stale the moment you share them, with plain-language insights from Rovo explaining what's driving the trends.

  • Give your AI tools the full context they need. When your team’s capacity, budget, and work all live in one place, Rovo can flag risks, surface blockers, and take action.
