Follow the manual workflow

Step 1: Set up matching projects in Teetrack

Create projects in Teetrack that mirror your Jira boards or epics. This makes it easy to attribute tracked time to the right deliverable.

Step 2: Use Jira ticket IDs in your time entry notes

When you start or log time in Teetrack, include the Jira issue key (e.g., PROJ-123) in the description so entries can be cross-referenced later.

Step 3: Track time while working on Jira tasks

Use the Teetrack timer or manual entry as you work through your sprint backlog. Keep Teetrack open alongside Jira for quick toggling.

Step 4: Review and export time data for billing or reporting

At the end of the sprint or week, filter Teetrack entries by project, review the hours per issue, and export timesheets for client billing or internal reporting.

What you can do

Frequently Asked Questions

Does Teetrack have a native Jira integration?

Not currently. Teetrack and Jira work as complementary tools. You track time in Teetrack and manage issues in Jira, using consistent project names and issue keys to keep everything connected.

Why not use Jira built-in time tracking?

Jira time tracking is basic and designed for estimation, not billing. Teetrack offers dedicated features like billable/non-billable tracking, client-based reporting, and professional timesheet generation.

Can I track time for multiple Jira projects in Teetrack?

Yes. Create a matching project in Teetrack for each Jira project and switch between them as you move through your backlog.

How do I reconcile Jira story points with tracked hours?

Use Teetrack reports filtered by project or description keyword to see actual hours per epic or sprint, then compare with story point estimates in Jira.

Is this setup useful for agencies billing clients on Jira-managed projects?

Absolutely. Agencies often need clean, professional timesheets that Jira alone cannot produce. Teetrack handles the billing side while Jira manages the delivery workflow.
