Occasionally I work with clients who use Jira and who would like to leverage Microsoft Power BI as a business intelligence tool for Jira data analysis. What to look at before choosing the Jira reporting tool? How do eazyBI and Power BI differ when it comes to Jira reporting?

eazyBI Reports and Charts for Confluence app was relaunched in October 2019. Since then besides eazyBI for Jira report publishing on Confluence pages, you can analyze Confluence data–page updates and views, search queries, attachment size, task completion, and more.

Atlassian is a rich ecosystem with native and 3rd party apps covering almost every aspect of DevOps lifecycle, from project and time management to test and asset management and beyond. Analyze and visualize Jira and many popular Jira apps–all in one place with eazyBI. Find out how to extend your Jira reporting perspective with eazyBI.

eazyBI has supported data integration with Insight Server and Data Center for years. Starting from the eazyBI version 6.2, we've added some improvements. Now Insight is also available in Jira Cloud. You can add an additional "layer" of data in your Jira reports by adding Insight custom fields, Insight objects, object attributes, and relationships. 

In our team, I might be the last person involved in eazyBI product development. That gives me another perspective–to see behind the everyday business. We don’t just build a great Business Intelligence tool; we bring many other gifts to this world. As it is our 10th anniversary in March, let me give you a short glimpse of what else is going on at eazyBI.

eazyBI as a company is turning ten years old today. Unfortunately, we cannot make big parties during this weird time. But we can reflect on what have we achieved, what has changed, and what has remained the same.

Have you reached the limit of built-in Jira reports? Ready to move to the next level? You don’t need to be a programmer, an IT graduate, or a data analyst to build advanced custom reports in Jira using eazyBI. In fact, you don’t even need to install eazyBI to try it out.

If you want to highlight a point or find a pattern, some visual aid helps a great deal. The latest eazyBI release includes several improvements for the table and gauge charts that will help you read your data so much easier. Furthermore, there are quite a few other much anticipated improvements worth mentioning so please read on.

Sometimes new eazyBI users get confused about how Jira data are represented in eazyBI. While Jira users are being intimately familiar with the Jira issue layout, dashboard gadgets, and issue navigator, the re-structured analytical data set in eazyBI seems different. How to make sense of it?

eazyBI has had integrations with Tempo for a very long time. But since eazyBI version 6.1 you can now easily access data also from Tempo Planner on all platforms–Cloud, Server, and Data Center. How to keep track of your planned and logged Tempo hours more efficiently?

eazyBI version 6.1 comes with dozens of new features and bug fixes. From Tempo Planner updates, custom property hierarchies, and report specific calculated measures, to various administration, usability, and reporting improvements.

Agile organizations use data for better decision making and to move the business forward quickly. But with data scattered across multiple projects and teams, it can be a challenge to create a common reporting structure.

Humans are hard-wired to do most things automatically. We wanted to satisfy this core desire making the process of report creation as intuitive as possible. The new interface was rebuilt almost completely from scratch. We are proud to present it to you this spring.

eazyBI version 5.3 is a significant update containing many frequently asked important new features and bug fixes, leading to the upcoming eazyBI version 6.0. While eazyBI 6.0 is still on the horizon, the 5.3 release is a welcome treat to all our customers. Enjoy!

You often told us that eazyBI is a powerful reporting tool, you use it and you love it, but it’s not that easy as the name “eazyBI” suggests. And it’s true — data analysis and reporting is never actually simple.

Just recently, eazyBI has released a couple of new versions—eazyBI 5.1 and eazyBI 5.2. Among many features and improvements, eazyBI is also jumping into the exciting cross-team analysis by adding a standard data import from Atlassian’s DevOps tools—Bitbucket and Bamboo.

I am happy to tell you that eazyBI has launched a new product on the Atlassian Marketplace—eazyBI for Confluence. Now you can analyze the Confluence content from the viewer’s and the author’s perspectives.

Over the course of 2 days in Riga, we got the opportunity to hear practical use cases and gain insights from a range of partners and customers in the Atlassian and eazyBI ecosystem. So here’s our take on it.

It is a couple of minutes past 7AM. There is still a silence in the hotel. Soon several room doors open and eazyBI team members start gathering for their morning 5K run. Actually, some eazyBI ladies have already left for their walk a quarter earlier, and they will all meet soon inevitably.

Do all the reports we create serve a purpose? Should they? What is a purpose of reporting anyway? How many times have you created a report that nobody cares about? There are several principles you should follow to make the reporting relevant and sustainable.

Among other updates, improvements, and bug fixes, eazyBI 4.7 now supports a frequently asked feature – wallboards. Now you can show rotating slideshows of dashboard reports on big-screen monitors in a black or white theme.

eazyBI was named the 2nd “Best Small Exporter” at the Export and Innovation Award 2018, organized by the Investment and Development Agency of Latvia and the Ministry of Economics of Latvia, celebrating the leading exporters and most innovative companies in Latvia.

eazyBI regularly attends Atlassian Solution Partner events to spread the word about our solutions and to interact with our clients and prospects. In this article I've listed my top five reasons why you should go to Atlassian Partner events too.

From Data Center improvements, incremental imports, and updated 3rd party app integrations, to updates in user interface, chart options, and troubleshooting.

Here's what we've added in the recent eazyBI releases.

During the weekend of September 28th and 29th, eazyBI was represented in the Open Data Hackathon 2018 in Riga, Latvia organized by the Investment and Development Agency of Latvia (LIAA) and Latvian Open Technology Association (LATA).

eazyBI is ranked by Deloitte as one of the top 50 fastest growing technology companies in Central Europe for the second consecutive year thanks to a 442% revenue growth over the last 4 years.

After attending Atlassian events of two eazyBI partners last week, I came back home inspired both professionally and humanly. And a little bit in love, too.

When we hear a word documentation, we anticipate a long, boring, dry, and complex page full with hard-to-read text. Often it’s difficult to find what you need or understand what should you do next.

We admit our own flaws and want to make things better.

Assets are all around us - employees, customers, facilities, IT infrastructure, or something else entirely. How can you track and manage all your assets easily and in one place? How to get valuable insights about relative costs, usage, or assigned issues related to your assets?

We are excited to have Paul Hardaker from FinancialForce joining our speaker line up this year. We caught up with Paul before the event to learn more about his role at FinancialForce and what he plans to present to our community next week.

In advance of our eagerly awaited eazyBI Community days, we got the chance to catch up with one of our event speakers, Rodrigo Molinare, a Business Analyst from Adaptavist about his thoughts on using eazyBI to transform sales planning, reporting, and management.

Atlassian provides a powerful ecosystem of project management and collaboration tools. Many of those tools complement each other, delivering benefits far beyond each separate tool alone.

eazyBI release notes highlight recent product improvements we’ve made. From new integrations with Adaptavist Test Management and Insight Asset Management to user access roles, public report sharing, performance improvements, and mobile user interface.

We are constantly investigating integration possibilities with other popular Jira add-ons. Many users have asked us to add the support for the Xray for Jira test management add-on. We've listened, and now, starting from eazyBI version 4.2, you can import and analyze data from Xray for Jira.

eazyBI Release Notes highlights recent product improvements we’ve made. From usability improvements and new dimension hierarchy members to Xray integration and built-in report usage statistics for server versions — this is what we’ve released in January.

eazyBI has never been a typical startup. We do not have a venture capital, we do not have a large team, we do not focus on high growth, and we don’t even have an office. So, how did we manage to build a company from $0 to $1 million in less than five years?

Information is a key in today’s software projects. Faster feedback loops and user data all come together to provide insights that lead to better quality and innovative improvements, yet this involves security threats. Keep test data secure with these 3 essential steps.

Time, money, supplies, energy — every business has to manage their resources efficiently. How can you reduce the waste and increase your return on investment? As it turns out, there is a simple but very powerful tool that can be applied to almost any aspect of your business and life.

Our world continues to move into the digital era. With the proliferation of devices capable of collecting data, we are experiencing a data explosion. Every Internet-connected-device, from a smartphone to a cash register, creates data.

We have some great news to share with you. For the past couple of months, we have been silently working on some visual and functional improvements.

Take a look at the changes we've made so far.

Making sense of facts, numbers, and measurements is a form of art – the art of data visualization. There is a load of data in the sea of noise. To turn your numbers into knowledge, your job is not only to separate noise from the data, but also to present it the right way.

There is so much data around us — but it’s mostly facts, numbers, measurements, and a common noise that does not convey any information. Making sense of these facts and numbers require some understanding of analytical methods.

We tend to use a lot of code analysis tools to find out what’s bad with our code. But have you looked at your Git logs lately? Git commit logs contain a lot of analytical information. You can visualize and analyze your Git logs to see how the code has evolved over time.

eazyBI is a small team and we don’t hide that fact. I see many small companies that try to pretend that they are much bigger than they are. I believe that these companies should not be ashamed that they are small.

We are starting our eazyBI blog with the first post about our recent trip to the Atlassian Summit in San Francisco. This year our company was a gold sponsor of the Summit, and six of us came to the conference. As we do not have an office and we work...
