WHY TEAMS SWITCH

What using Businessmap for project management actually looks like

Teams looking for a Jira alternative for project management want a centralized project management system where all teams collaborate, manage portfolios and track OKRs predictably. Here's how Businessmap enables that.

Portfolio visibility, without stitching it together

Get one board that already shows every portfolio, program, and project, connected to the OKRs they support.

OKRs connected to delivery work

From team-level goals to department and strategic objectives, see how every team contributes to shared outcomes.

Automation and AI that work from day one

Set up automation yourself and connects your boards to AI assistants like Claude and ChatGPT, so you can query your portfolio in plain language.

BUILT FOR TEAMS LEAVING JIRA

Everything that made you consider a Jira alternative for your project management

Visible

One board for every OKR, portfolio, program, and project

Portfolio Workspaces bring every strategic goal, portfolio, program, and project onto a single board, so leaders see how work is actually moving without waiting on a status deck.

One board for every OKR, portfolio, program, and project
Flexible

Plan on your terms

Some projects need a simple timeline view. Others need dependencies, milestones, and critical paths. Plan for both, without switching tools or paying for an add-on.

Plan on your terms
Documented

Keep documentation linked to the work

Docs live right alongside your boards – spin one up straight from a card, drop it onto a canvas, and it becomes part of your team's shared source of truth. Full permissions, revision history, and AI context built in, so process knowledge feeds directly into planning instead of gathering dust in a wiki nobody opens.

Keep documentation linked to the work
Automated

Generous automation limits, no premium tier required

Businessmap includes daily execution limits as standard — from 2,000 up to 10,000 rule runs per day depending on plan — configured as soft limits, with triggers based on card movement, field changes, due dates, and more, configurable without code.

Generous automation limits, no premium tier required
Migrate or Integrate

Leave Jira entirely, or keep it exactly where it is

Not every team needs to migrate to get out from under Jira's weight. Businessmap supports both paths, and Solution Architecture sets up either one for you.

  • Full migration: move everything into Businessmap, planned and approved
  • Ongoing integration: keep developers in Jira and let management plan in Businessmap
