Project tracking, with a different center of gravity.

Jira supports broad project and work tracking, with configurable workflows and templates for many teams. ACT brings familiar task management into the context of physical sites, assets, and operational evidence.

ACT is preparing for early access. The checklist describes product capabilities; access is by invitation.

When Jira may fit.

Consider Jira when you need its established ecosystem, software delivery workflows, or broader project configuration. It is designed for many kinds of teams, not only software teams.

Is ACT a drop-in Jira replacement?

No. ACT shares familiar task concepts, but it does not offer Jira’s full ecosystem or every project management feature. Compare the workflows your team actually needs before switching.
