Guide
Jira is a web app designed to help teams manage their work and projects. Best known as a powerful work management tool, it helps companies plan, build, and launch products and services.
However, a project tracker needs a more advanced time tracker, like TimeCamp, for better project management and monitoring of tasks and costs. TimeCamp and Jira can be integrated for smooth and seamless time tracking.
Atlassian was initially developed as a bug and issue tracker but later became a project management tool. It has a native time tracker for project monitoring.
Its native tracker can track time in different ways, such as monitoring the working hours per day, week, or hour. Jira time tracking subtasks is another feature of its tracker.
However, you can change your time tracking provider that offers more features, not only time tracking. There are more advanced time trackers that offer more, such as TimeCamp.
TimeCamp offers automatic time tracking, productivity tracking, invoicing, billing, budgeting, attendance, reporting, and timesheet approvals. It is also available in Atlassian Marketplace, which means it is compatible with Jira.
Time tracking with Jira works by integrating it with time tracking apps, such as TimeCamp.
Integrating Jira and TimeCamp will improve automatic time tracking when working even on simple tasks. You can also define unique keywords to let the TimeCamp time tracker automatically switch on and off when you work on a specific project.
Additionally, time tracking integration gives clear insights into how the team can effectively perform projects and meet deadlines with close monitoring and timely reports.
It does not limit your Jira experience because TimeCamp is in Jira. So, you can utilize TimeCamp's timesheets and mobile or desktop applications when you use Jira.
TimeCamp and Jira should be integrated to enable time tracking in Jira. Here are the seven steps in integrating these two apps:
Don't have a TimeCamp account? Register here and get a free 14-day trial. Note that you need administrator's privileges in Jira to enable TimeCamp's time tracking Jira integration.
Go to Settings and find Jira in the list of available addons in the "Integrations" bookmark. Once you find Jira, click on the "Enable" button.
In entering your Jira URL address, you must also include the "https://" prefix. If you don't remember it, log in to your Jira account in another web browser bookmark. Then, copy your Jira URL.
Enter your credentials to log in to your Jira account and its API token. Make sure to copy the visible characters to API token field. Click on the green "Enable the integration" button.
After enabling the integration, the filed API token will stay empty.

You can decide if you wish to automatically export your timesheets to Jira for automated time tracking in Jira. Remember that it is optional. If you enable this function, all your tracked time will be assigned to the Jira integration creator.
Jira task time tracking and monitoring is now easy because TimeCamp will automatically import all your tasks and projects from Jira.
On the Project Management page, you can see all the imported items under the main project called "Jira." You can easily track your time using TimeCamp's timesheets.
You can find our TimeCamp Time Tracking application on the Atlassian marketplace for Jira Cloud for easy Jira time tracking integration.
Alternatively, a Jira time tracking plugin is also available!

It is now convenient to log in your time whenever you work on your tasks. You must toggle the timer on and off in the time tracking field. You can also opt to add time entries with tags and a billable option if you want.
Time tracking in Jira also gives you a clear budgeting outlook of your projects. The Jira time tracking tool provides data and reports that let you see discrepancies in time and budget. You can use the reports to analyze project costs and monitor the team's resource usage.
Since time tracking in Jira provides reports and records of time and tasks, it gives you data on billable hours of you and your team members' time. It prevents going over or under the budget per project. Thus, Jira software time tracking is highly recommended.

With Jira's simple time tracking process, you can easily log your work hours and monitor each task by just clicking the Start and Stop button of the TimeCamp app. So you can significantly save your time and money.
