Structure PPM

Structure PPM is an advanced project portfolio management solution designed to enhance and extend the project management capabilities of Jira, one of the world's most widely used work tracking platforms for software development and enterprise project management. Built to enable organizations to oversee multiple projects, portfolios, or agile epics within a unified and highly customizable environment, Structure PPM delivers critical visibility and strategic control for both project managers and executive leadership. Its architecture is especially beneficial for organizations looking to manage complexity, scale efficiently, and align tactical project execution with broader business objectives. The software's central feature is its dynamic, spreadsheet-like interface that allows users to visualize and organize projects, portfolios, tasks, and dependencies in hierarchical structures called “structures.” This interface makes it possible to aggregate and manipulate multiple Jira issues or epics simultaneously, providing a unified view of progress, resource allocation, and milestones across teams and departments. With Structure PPM, users can drag and drop tasks between projects, create custom views for teams or stakeholders, and filter or group data according to virtually any project variable, including project status, assignee, priority, or timeline. This helps organizations avoid the pitfalls of siloed information, ensuring that data remains accessible and actionable throughout the entire project lifecycle.​ A particularly notable component of Structure PPM is its epic tracking capability. Epic tracker functionality makes it easy for teams to oversee initiative-level deliverables, align work with strategic business goals, and identify obstacles or timeline shifts before they impact program delivery. The granular, real-time view provided by Structure PPM supports continuous monitoring and adjustment, allowing teams to stay nimble and proactive in their response to changing requirements or resource constraints. This is especially valuable for agile teams operating in fast-paced or evolving business environments, but equally useful for organizations using waterfall or hybrid project management approaches.​ Structure PPM’s integration with Jira is seamless and robust. All updates made within Structure PPM synchronize automatically with Jira, ensuring data consistency and reducing duplication of effort. The tool supports multiple structures—allowing users to create different views or reporting layers for different audiences. Whether a portfolio manager needs a birds-eye view with performance metrics rolled up across several project teams, or a project manager needs day-to-day visibility into individual task progress, Structure PPM can flexibly present the right information at the right level. Furthermore, the tool offers native integrations with other Tempo apps, bringing in time-tracking, resource planning, and financials to deliver actionable insights across the entire project portfolio.​ Resource planning and forecasting are also core strengths of Structure PPM. The platform allows managers and teams to allocate resources efficiently, monitor workload distribution, and optimize utilization across concurrent projects. The tool’s reporting and dashboard capabilities provide visual analytics for stakeholders on project health, resource usage, risks, and progress against strategic goals. This empowers organizations to make data-driven decisions, identify under-resourced initiatives, and anticipate bottlenecks long before they disrupt final deliverables.

The platform also stands out for its practical epic and dependency tracking capabilities. Its epic tracker gives users granular control and visibility over strategic initiatives, helping teams spot bottlenecks and resource constraints early, which is vital for large-scale, cross-team collaborations. The ability to manage multiple structures, each tailored for different stakeholder needs or program slices, enhances transparency and streamlines communication—helping everyone stay aligned on priorities and progress.​ Integration with Jira is another significant advantage. While many PPM solutions offer Jira connectors, Structure PPM is designed as a native extension—changes made in Structure instantly sync bidirectionally with Jira, maintaining data integrity and eliminating the risk of version control issues. Furthermore, Structure PPM integrates smoothly with other Tempo apps, such as time-tracking and budgeting tools, allowing organizations to centralize project, resource, and financial data. This seamless integration supports advanced reporting and analytics, empowering decision-makers with comprehensive, real-time insights that are difficult to achieve with standalone or loosely connected tools.​
