Balsamiq Mockups JIRA Plugin

Let Mockups Be Your Mini-Specs

Agile companies don't have time for long specs. Let Mockups do the talking!

Get More Out of Your Beta Program

Mockups encourages your beta testers share their great ideas with you.

Improve QA/Dev Relations

A picture is worth 1000 words, especially with developers!

Impress Your Customers Even More

Open JIRA installation? Your customers will love asking you for features with Mockups!

Be Agile

JIRA has already sped up your development considerably. Mockups allows anyone, technical or not, to jot down feature ideas quickly and easily. Add a UI Mockup to a new feature issue and improve the chances it will get built!

 

Great for Beta Programs

Your beta testers live inside your product day in and day out. Let them contribute to it visually via Mockups and make your software as good as it can be.

Improve QA/Dev Relations

Issues bounce back and forth because plain text is not enough to convey what's wrong. A screenshot helps, but sometimes what you really need is a new UI variation.

 

Crowd-source!

You get it. Transparency is good for business. Empower your customers even more buy giving them the ability to show you how they think your software should behave. You'll be amazed by the wisdom of the crowds!

 

“This is a fantastic UI mockup tool. Great for "Napkin Sketches".”

— Barry G.

Streamlined integration

Just click on "Add/Edit UI Mockup to this issue", edit your mockup, name it and save. The mockup will show up as an attachment on the issue, both as an image and as clean, human-readable, reusable, versioned XML data. Editing existing mockups is just as easy, click on the same link and you'll be able to access the mockups attached to the current issue to edit them. See the online help for the full documentation of the Mockups for JIRA integration points. Mockups runs on JIRA 3.7 all the way to the new 4.0 version.

Using the excellent GreenHopper? We integrate with it, too! Learn more.

Licensing and Pricing

We follow the same pricing model as JIRA (details here), for an extra-easy purchasing process. In short, Balsamiq Mockups for JIRA costs more or less half of what JIRA does.

Your Mockups for JIRA license and your JIRA licenses do NOT have to match, you can install a 25 Editors license of Mockups for JIRA on a 500 Editors license of JIRA, for instance. If you do, you'll be able to select which of your users can create and edit mockups via a JIRA user group. Full details here.

Every Mockups For JIRA license key can be used for equal number of Mockups For Desktop licenses, so that your designers and engineers will be able to work on their mockups when they are offline.

If you received a free "Community & Open Source" JIRA license I'll be happy to provide you with a free Mockups for JIRA license as well, see below for details.
