BottleneckIQ
For Jira Cloud — built on Atlassian Forge

Find delivery bottlenecks from changelogs, not estimates.

BottleneckIQ turns Jira issue changelogs into deterministic flow metrics, multi-signal bottleneck detection, and threshold and trend alerts. Same data in, same numbers out, every time.

Made for engineering managers who don't trust dashboards

Most flow tools give you a number and ask you to trust it. BottleneckIQ shows you the math, the issues that drove it, and the moment a threshold tripped.

Deterministic, not vibes-based

Cycle time, lead time, throughput, WIP aging — all derived from changelogs. Same input, same output, every time. AI is used only to translate the resulting numbers into one-sentence explanations; it never alters them.

Multi-signal bottleneck detection

We don't pick the slowest column. We score each status by aging, queue depth, throughput delta, and WIP-limit pressure — then surface the one that's actually hurting flow this window.

Threshold and trend alerts

Set explicit triggers (cycle time > 7d, WIP breach, throughput drop > 20%) and get a single notification when one fires — not a wall of email.

Sprint and project scoped

Slice every metric by project and by sprint. Compare current sprint to last three. Spot when a single team's WIP is dragging the org's lead time.

Built to clear your security review

We answered the Atlassian DPD/DUO questionnaire honestly. The full security disclosure is published here; the short version:

  • Runs entirely on Atlassian Forge — no PAT or webhook secret to manage.
  • Reads only Jira issue metadata, changelogs, and two custom fields (Story Points, Sprint).
  • Per-tenant data isolation enforced at the database layer (Postgres RLS).
  • All persisted data in AWS US East 1, encrypted at rest with AWS KMS.
  • Deletes your data within minutes of uninstall.

Stop guessing where the work gets stuck.

Install in under a minute. Bring your full Jira history in one click. See the bottleneck before your next retro.
