Your Jira guardian

Proactive monitoring

It means that you have proactive monitoring of Jira. Need to enforce the completion of issues by a specific date? Use an Escalation Service to align specific issues or issue types with SLAs based, flagging inaction to you or other Jira user(s).

Jira housekeeping
