The Problem

Why teams struggle without it

Missed approvals lead to compliance violations and audit findings

Email-based approvals create no audit trail and get lost in inboxes

Sequential approval chains add days or weeks of delay to releases

Features

Everything you need, built right into Jira

Parallel Multi-Person Approvals

Enforce the Vier-Augen-Prinzip digitally. Require multiple independent approvers before work can proceed.
