How CData Connect AI Empowers PMs to Resource‑Plan and Track Engineer Productivity in Jira
Blog post from CData
CData Connect AI is presented as a SaaS connectivity platform designed to help product owners and project managers use live Jira data for resource planning, cost analysis, KPI reporting, and capacity forecasting without relying on fragile exports or custom scripts. Through no-code OAuth setup, users can query, join, sync, and in some cases update Jira data from tools including Excel, Google Sheets, Power BI, Tableau, Looker, and automation platforms, while also combining Jira with sources such as Tempo, GitHub, finance systems, and support data. The platform supports use cases such as forecasting team capacity, calculating cost per story point from logged hours and payroll information, and creating automatically refreshed dashboards for velocity, cycle time, lead time, and defects. Users connect Jira, select needed data, and access it through SQL, OData, ODBC, or JDBC endpoints without installing drivers or maintaining servers, with a free trial offered for initial setup.
