Performalise vs Jira Dashboards — Product Development Intelligence

Q: Does Performalise replace Jira?

No. Performalise sits on top of Jira and turns your existing task and delivery data into coaching intelligence, team health signals, and predictability forecasts. You keep Jira for task management. Performalise adds the layer of intelligence that helps teams work better together and ship with more confidence.

Q: How does Performalise integrate with Jira?

Performalise connects to Jira via API with read-only access. Your data stays in Jira. We analyze sprint velocity, issue metadata, team capacity, and delivery patterns — then surface insights about team health, delivery predictability, and areas for improvement. Setup takes minutes with no data migration required.

Q: How long does it take to set up Performalise?

Performalise connects to Jira in minutes — just authorize the API integration and you're live. Teams start seeing AI coaching insights within the first sprint. There's no data migration, no configuration of complex fields, and no process redesign required. Your existing Jira workflows stay exactly as they are.

Q: What's the pricing difference between Performalise and Jira?

Jira starts at £7.75 per user per month (and typically requires paid plugins for portfolio and advanced analytics, adding cost). Performalise is priced at team level — from £400 per team per month on our Perform plan. A typical org with 3-4 product teams pays around £1,200-1,600/month for unlimited AI coaching, delivery intelligence, and continuous improvement across all teams.

Why teams outgrow Jira's built-in dashboards

Jira is exceptional at what it was built for: tracking tasks, managing workflows, and keeping the team synchronized on *what* they're building. But Jira doesn't answer the questions that really matter.

Can we predict when this will be ready — with confidence?
Is this team actually healthier than last quarter, or just faster?
Why did we commit to this and then ship something different?
What's one coaching conversation that would unlock the most improvement?
Are we building the right thing, or just executing really well?

Performalise sits on top of Jira and turns your delivery data into answers. It's not about replacing Jira — it's about unlocking what your data actually means. AI coaching. Real-time team health. Predictability. Continuous improvement that compounds sprint after sprint.
