Key Benefits of Extending Jira into a Strategic Portfolio Management Solution with OnePlan
When organizations integrate OnePlan with Jira, they unlock a range of significant benefits that enhance their project management capabilities and transform Jira into a comprehensive Strategic Portfolio Management solution. This section explores three key benefits that arise from leveraging OnePlan alongside Jira. These benefits include amplified portfolio visibility, optimized resource management, and seamless strategic alignment. By harnessing these advantages, organizations can gain real-time insights, streamline resource allocation, and ensure their projects are aligned with their strategic objectives.
Enhanced Portfolio Visibility

Improved Resource Management
Optimize resource allocation and ensure the right resources are assigned to the right projects. OnePlan’s resource management features enable effective planning, capacity management, and collaboration.
Strategic Planning (OKRs) in Jira
OKRs have many levels in the enterprise. While all objectives will connect back to enterprise goals, each business unit may have a unique version, based on its customer focus. The same goes for departments within each business unit. Additionally, large organizations are typically a matrix, with additional strategies for teams such as value streams, functional groups and geographical teams which span multiple business units. OnePlan allows you to manage different levels and versions of OKRs. Whether you need a view by business unit, value stream, program or product area, OnePlan supports the many hierarchies and matrices in an enterprise.
