Enterprises are accelerating their AI investments and deploying agents, budgets are ballooning out of control, and leaders are being asked to justify the cost. Yet insight into the return on investment (ROI) can be opaque.

Tempo says its new Workforce Intelligence (WFI) offering can help product managers make the case for, and optimize, their AI spend.

The collaborative workspace platform provider says that WFI is the first Atlassian Marketplace app that automatically connects AI tool activity directly to Jira work items, tasks, epics, and initiatives to help leaders understand AI use, cost, its productivity impacts, and where the tools actually deliver ROI.

“The amount of money people are spending on AI is enormous, and a very large percentage of it is wasted,” said Tempo CEO Vic Chynoweth. “Being able to orient your investment toward outcomes you know are working is going to be a big lift for organizations.”
