Closed-loop Management Process

Build a project management solution by augmenting team-oriented Jira with the scheduling power of Microsoft Project.

Managers prepare a project schedule and push it into Jira. Alternatively, existing issues can be imported from Jira to MS Project.
As the team reports progress and updates estimates, the actuals are brought back to Microsoft Project.
The manager reschedules the activities and updates the deadlines in Jira.

This is just one of many ways to leverage Ceptah Bridge.
