Updated over a week ago

Tracking time on Productive projects directly from Jira is simple. Here's a step-by-step guide!

Find out more about managing your Jira time entries here.

1) Open a Project in Jira and Select the Issue

Begin by opening the desired project in Jira and selecting the specific issue you want to track time on.


2) Access the Time-Tracking Widget

Once you've opened the issue, locate the time-tracking widget.

3) Select the Budget and Service

Choose the budget you're working on from the "Services" menu. You'll see the budget's name along with the client's logo. Under the name, a list of services will appear. Select the service relevant to your issue in Jira.

4) Adjust the date and Add a Description (Optional)

If necessary, add a brief description of your work.


5) Start the Timer or Add Manual Entry

If you prefer to start the timer, simply scroll down and select the "Start" button.

Alternatively, for manual time entries, input the desired time and click "Save".

Important Notes

  • Time Entries

    All time entries made in Jira will be reflected in Productive.

  • Editing Time Entries
    Edits can be made in Jira, and they will be visible in Productive. Changes to the time entry made in Productive will be visible in the Productive Time Tracking widget, but not in the Jira Worklog. To apply changes to both, edit the time entry in Jira's widget.

  • Synchronization
    Time entries logged in Jira follow Productive's rules. For example, if time approvals are required, the entry must be approved in Productive to take effect.
