Jira TotalCtrl Issue Tracker

If you use Jira, you'll love TotalCtrl.

Built for engineering teams that ship.

Jira is heavy, and the support team can't see it anyway. TotalCtrl's Issue Tracker lets a support ticket escalate straight into an engineering issue — and closes the ticket and notifies the customer automatically when it's resolved.

Start free — all apps included

Issue Tracker, included in every plan

Epics, Milestones & Sprints
Full hierarchy: Epics contain milestones, milestones contain sprints, sprints contain issues. Track progress at every level — from initiative down to individual task.
Custom Workflows
Define your own workflow statuses per project. Map stages to your actual process — not "To Do / In Progress / Done" by default.
Issue Relations
Link issues as blocks, is-blocked-by, relates-to, or duplicate-of. Understand dependencies before they become blockers during sprint planning.
Kanban, Backlog & List Views
Work the way you prefer: drag-and-drop Kanban, prioritized backlog list, or flat list view. All views stay in sync.
Tenant-wide Initiatives
Create initiatives that span multiple projects — track the progress of a major feature release or company OKR across every team's board simultaneously.
Custom Field Definitions
Add custom fields — story points, severity, customer name, affected version — to any issue. Filter and sort by any custom field.
GitHub & GitLab Link
Link pull requests and commits to issues. Close an issue from a commit message. See build status and PR status directly on the issue card.
Support Escalation
A Support ticket can be escalated to an Issue with one click. When the linked issue is resolved, the original support ticket closes automatically and the customer is notified.
