Project Progress Tracker for Jira is a powerful tool designed to give teams and leaders a clear, hands-on way to monitor project progress. Unlike automated metrics, this app allows you to manually adjust progress indicators, ensuring accurate insights into project status, team alignment, and risk identification. This guide will walk you through using the key features of the app to optimize your project management process.

Updating Progress Status

Keeping your project status accurate is simple with Project Progress Tracker:

  1. Drag or adjust the indicator to reflect the current progress of your project.
  2. Team members can update the Completion Percentage to show how much of the project they believe is complete (e.g., from 20% to 30%).
  3. Change the Project Status to reflect overall progress. Choose from three options: On Track (Green), Some Risk (Yellow), or Concerned (Red).
  4. Click Submit to confirm the update.

This manual update provides a true reflection of where your project stands, beyond automated progress bars
