Overview

Luc Debliquis, Founder and CEO of Net2, also serving as a "CTO on Demand," employs the Data Processor for Jira to streamline and enhance the efficiency of time management and client reporting within his company. This case study explores how the app facilitates the analysis and consolidation of team timesheets, thereby supporting better resource allocation and client service delivery.

Background

Luc's company specializes in providing development services, where team members log their work hours directly into clients' Jira instances. Given the diverse projects ranging from internal development to training, Luc sought a solution to effectively manage and analyze time spent across various activities.

chalenge

The primary challenge was aggregating time logs from multiple sources to generate comprehensive time reports. This was crucial for internal analysis to improve productivity and for creating detailed reports for clients, demonstrating the value and distribution of work done by Luc's team.
Luc was particularly surprised by the lack of a native OData integration between Atlassian Jira and Microsoft Power BI. He expressed initial thoughts of developing a custom solution using Jira's REST API if a suitable solution wasn't readily available. Fortunately, his search on the marketplace led him to discover the Data Processor for Jira
