If you use Jira for more than just one project, you know that keeping track of numerous tasks, budgets, and timelines can be overwhelming.  For project managers, scrum masters, and other stakeholders, the need for a solution that simplifies and streamlines project tracking and budget management is paramount.  Enter Epic Sum Up by Aptis, a lean yet powerful project management tool that integrates seamlessly with Jira.
