This project in Cost Tracker is defined with a single Jira filter that can include multiple Jira projects. Time logged on Jira issues defined by this filter are translated into labor costs.
You can then add expenses related to your project, set up a budget, and set rates for project team members. Cost Tracker delivers a financial snapshot so that shows you at a glance how your project's total costs track towards a budget.
Create a Jira filter (JQL query) that collects all the Jira issues you wish to include in your Tempo Cost Tracker project.
