Project Management

Chrono + Jira

Without changing your Jira workflow, Chrono derives time data from Jira ticket activity and categorizes work for you and your team.

Connect Jira All integrations

Simplify workflow with Jira integration

Automatic time capture

Time entries are created from ticket activity — status changes, assignments, and sprint work. No timers, no manual entry.

Resource allocation visibility

See how resources are allocated across initiatives like Jira epics, with daily categorized timesheets for your entire team.

Zero configuration

Connect Jira once and Chrono starts tracking time for all users immediately. No extra setup required.

Works even better together. Combine with Google Calendar, Outlook, Slack, or Teams for a complete picture of your team's time.

How Jira data supports SR&ED claims

SR&ED claims require contemporaneous records showing how your team's time was spent on qualifying R&D activities. Data from Jira — captured and categorized by Chrono — becomes that record. The CRA accepts time logs derived from project management and collaboration tools as supporting documentation, provided they're organized by project, activity, and date. Chrono does that organization automatically, so your Jira activity feeds directly into audit-ready SR&ED documentation.

Common questions about the Jira integration

Do I need to install anything to connect Jira?

Nothing to install. The connection uses OAuth authorization — you grant Chrono read access through Jira's own permissions dialog. Your credentials never pass through Chrono's servers.

Does the Jira integration change how my team works?

No. Your team keeps using Jira exactly as they do now. Chrono reads activity data in the background and builds timesheets from it. No new tools, no new habits required.

How quickly does Chrono start generating timesheets after I connect Jira?

Chrono begins capturing data the day you connect. Most teams see their first timesheets within 24 hours. The integration becomes more accurate over the first few days as Chrono builds a pattern of your team's activity.

Is the Jira integration included in the free plan?

Yes. All integrations are included in Chrono's free plan. There's no limit on the number of tools you connect, and no integration costs extra.
