Tempo Launches WFI With 90-Day AI ROI Tracking for Jira on Atlassian Marketplace

Summary

  • Tempo said its new Workforce Intelligence app links AI activity directly to Jira tasks, epics and initiatives, giving enterprises a work-item view of AI cost, contribution and ROI.
  • The standalone Jira Cloud app pulls provider cost data, attributes usage to specific work items, and combines AI spend with human labor in one record; Tempo says customers can activate it within hours.
  • WFI starts with 90 days of historical data and supports tools including OpenAI Codex, GitHub Copilot and Claude Code, helping teams compare AI-assisted and non-AI workflows and spot scope drift.
  • The launch targets a measurement gap as IBM found only 29% of executives can confidently measure AI ROI and just 25% of initiatives deliver expected returns, while Kyndryl said 61% feel rising pressure to prove value.

If AI providers only expose raw token counts, how accurately can this tool translate them into exact dollar costs per task?
Could hyper-focusing on AI efficiency metrics blind enterprise leaders to the massive hidden costs of model drift and human oversight?
