Choosing the right portfolio management or roadmap tool in Jira can dramatically affect how teams plan, prioritize, and communicate work. If your teams use Jira  Premium or Enterprise, then you already have a native planning tool - Jira Plans - available.

Jira Plans is great for long-term forecasting, scenario and release planning, but if you want a 360 view of your work now, multiple visualizations, and a rich capacity planner that will reduce risk and maximize productivity, then check out Portfolio by HeroCoders.

In fact, Portfolio uses live Jira data so you can do inline editing and even add new fields directly from your Portfolio. Best of all, without requiring any configuration, Portfolio lets you view your Jira data in multiple ways.
