Straight from the app
Say hello to your new favorite tool.
No mockups here — every screen is the shipping product, running on a real Jira Cloud site.
02
Live capacity
Live capacity tracking on every change.
Every assignee change, estimate edit, and story point update recalculates capacity instantly — for that person and for the whole team. You see who has room and who is overloaded while you plan, not after the sprint starts.
How capacity is calculated- 01
Assign a task
Give EKK-431 to Mira and her committed hours update immediately. You know how much room she has left before you hand her anything else.
- 02
Change an estimate
Raise the estimate from 8h to 18h and the math follows. That pushes Mira past her 40 hours, so her bar turns amber on the spot — not halfway through the sprint.
- 03
Open the summary any time
The Capacity button sits in the top right of the planning view. One click shows committed versus available hours for every person on the team, always current.
Assigning the task and raising the estimate updated this bar instantly — Mira is now over her 40-hour limit, and you can see it before committing the sprint.
The Capacity button in the top bar opens this team summary at any time. The numbers are always current — there is no report to run.

Estimate togetherSprint poker, built into Jira.
Run a full planning-poker session without leaving the sprint. Your team votes on each task in story points or hours, votes stay blind until everyone is in, and the chosen estimate writes straight back to the issue. No side-channel app, no screen-sharing, no pasting numbers later.
- Story points or hours — choose the unit per session
- Blind voting with one-click reveal and auto-consensus check
- Voters join by QR code or link — no install, no login
- Accepted estimate writes back to Jira so the number sticks
Votes blind until revealNo anchoring, no peer pressure. Numbers only appear once everyone has locked in.
Consensus in one clickHighest-voted card becomes the accepted estimate — or keep the discussion going until the room agrees.
Back to Jira instantlyThe chosen estimate lands on the issue before your next sip of coffee.
The estimate that gets picked is the estimate that ships.

Know your real capacityModel your team’s real capacity.
Ekko reads every task assigned to each person — in hours or story points — subtracts PTO and meetings, and shows you exactly how much time each teammate has left before the sprint is full.
Inputs
Pulled from Jira assignments
In the app, this number is summed automatically from every issue assigned to each teammate — hours or story points.
Inside Jira, Ekko pulls the real number here automatically from each teammate’s assigned issues — hours or story points, partial PTO, and per-person overrides included.

Four steps from install to planning.
Read the getting-started guide- 01
Install from the Marketplace
Install from the Atlassian Marketplace. Ekko deploys to the Forge runtime inside your Jira Cloud tenant. No servers to provision, no keys to rotate.
- 02
Complete onboarding
A short configuration captures capacity mode (hours or points), working hours, working days, default meeting overhead, and the default sprint board.
- 03
Define the team and schedule
Pick team members per project, bulk-add from the user list, and override capacity where it varies. Add holidays once; PTO goes in as it comes up.
- 04
Plan the next sprint
Open the planning view with real capacity, linked-task context, and in-place editing for every detail — assignee, estimate, status, description, comments. Nothing opens in a new tab.
06
Safe by design
Your data never leaves Atlassian.
Ekko is an Atlassian Forge app. It runs inside your Jira Cloud tenant, uses Jira’s APIs, permissions, and user context, and keeps its own settings in Forge storage. There are no Ekko-operated servers, no third-party processors, and no copy of your issue data outside the Atlassian trust boundary.
- 01 Stays inside your tenantHosted on Atlassian Forge. No Ekko-operated servers, no egress to third parties, nothing new to add to your vendor list.
- 02 No separate loginAuthenticates through Jira. Respects existing project permissions and user context. No new identity to manage.
- 03 Jira is the source of truthEdits in Ekko write straight to Jira through Forge. No sync job, no parallel database, no drift.
- 04 Least-privilege scopesOnly the Jira scopes planning and capacity need. Reviewable in your Atlassian admin before install.
