BigPicture

BigPicture extends Jira with portfolio hierarchies, Gantt scheduling, resource capacity and risk views for PMOs and delivery teams.

Overview

BigPicture connects Jira work to portfolio, program and WBS views. Standard includes Gantt, automated dependency scheduling, critical path, milestones, baselines and what-if analysis, plus capacity and risk management. Advanced adds goals and OKRs, financial management, strategic prioritization and advanced reports. It supports Agile, waterfall and hybrid delivery in Jira. Cloud billing follows the highest user count across the Jira instance, even if fewer people use BigPicture. Monthly and annual subscriptions and a 30-day trial are available; teams up to 10 users have free Cloud access. Some exports use the separate BigTemplate app. Confirm edition, Jira tier and export package when budgeting.
