The problem

Governance without a home makes everything harder

Data Atlas replaces scattered, manual governance with a structured operating model your teams already know.

↓ with Data Atlas
Ownership gaps surface in the dashboard so stewards know where to act first.
Before
"Requests for new metrics come in from email and Slack — no traceability."
↓ with Data Atlas
Intake flows through a branded JSM portal, routed directly into the governance queue.
Before
"Nobody wants to learn another tool on top of Jira."
↓ with Data Atlas
Data Atlas lives inside Jira — no new platform, no new logins, no extra licences.
Before
"Our AI projects keep stalling because nobody trusts the underlying data."
↓ with Data Atlas
Governed, classified, and owned data assets give AI initiatives a reliable foundation to build on.
Before
"Reports use different definitions — nobody agrees on the numbers."
↓ with Data Atlas
A single governed definition for every KPI and measure means everyone reports from the same source of truth.
Product overview

A governed data workspace inside your Jira project

Data Atlas turns a Jira project into a complete governance operating model — catalogue, stewardship, intake, lineage, and admin in one place.

Governance Dashboard

See ownership gaps, classification gaps, overdue reviews, and stewardship activity in one Jira-native workspace.

Business Glossary

Give business users a searchable catalogue for governed definitions, KPIs, reports, and policies.

Governed Asset Register

Filter governed assets by type, owner, domain, platform, classification, and status.

Review Queue

Help stewards focus on assets that need review, ownership, classification, or governance action.

Intake Portal

Use Jira Service Management to collect new data asset, metric, report, and change requests from business users.

Import & Export

Bulk onboard assets with a CSV template, preserve relationships, and safely update changed records.

Lineage

Track how terms, data elements, systems, flows, reports, dashboards, and policies relate to each other.

Rovo AI Stewardship

Use Rovo to summarise governance health, find assets, explain catalogue records, and suggest next actions.

Governance Dashboard

Your data health, at a glance

The Data Atlas dashboard surfaces what matters — unowned assets, overdue reviews, coverage gaps, and classification status — all inside Jira. No separate tool, no context switching.

Overdue reviews

Surface assets that have missed their review date so stewards can act immediately.

Ownership gaps

Instantly see unowned assets and assign business owners, data stewards, and technical owners.

Coverage metrics

Track governance coverage and classification rates across all your registered data assets.

Business Glossary

One catalogue for every term, KPI, and report

Give business users a clear place to find trusted definitions, measures, reports, and data context — without leaving Jira. Data Atlas makes the glossary a live, governed workspace, not a static document.

  • Business terms, KPIs, systems, policies, and information flows
  • Searchable by type, domain, owner, platform, and status
  • Definitions carry ownership and review dates
  • Available to all Jira users without admin access

Asset Register

Filter and manage the full asset inventory

Stewards get a focused, filterable view of every governed asset across the organisation. Slice by type, owner, classification, domain, platform, and status to find gaps and prioritise work.

  • Filter by asset type, classification, domain, and lifecycle status
  • Track business owner, data steward, and technical owner
  • Asset detail keeps context, ownership, and relationships in one Jira issue
  • Uses Jira fields, filters, and queues — no new UI to learn

Stewardship workflow

Move from passive documentation to active governance work

Data Atlas turns governance into trackable, triageable work — with review queues, ownership gaps, and Jira history so stewards always know what needs attention.

Intake Portal

Capture data requests through a branded service portal

Capture requests for new measures, terms, dashboards, and asset changes through a branded Jira Service Management portal. Every request routes directly into the Data Atlas review and stewardship workflow.

  • New business terms, KPIs, reports, and systems
  • Asset changes and governance amendments
  • Routes directly into Data Atlas queues
  • Works with existing JSM portals and request types

Lineage & Context

Understand how assets connect

Data Atlas records how business concepts, systems, information flows, reports, and policies connect to each other — so stewards can trace impact, upstream sources, and governed relationships across the data landscape.

  • Sourced from, feeds into, derived from, governed by, reports on
  • Integration platforms modelled as systems and information flows
  • Impact graph shows downstream and upstream dependencies
  • Relationships preserved through import/export round-trips

FAQ

Common questions

Product
Data Atlas is a Jira-native data governance workspace for cataloguing business terms, KPIs, measures, reports, dashboards, systems, policies, data elements, and information flows.
No. Data Atlas extends Jira with a purpose-built governance model, screens, fields, request workflows, import/export, lineage, catalogue views, and stewardship queues.
Data Atlas is for data governance teams, data stewards, analytics teams, business owners, system owners, and service teams that need a practical way to manage governed data assets.
Data Atlas supports business terms, data elements, KPIs and measures, systems, information flows, reports and dashboards, and policies or standards.
Yes. Data Atlas supports relationships such as sourced from, feeds into, derived from, governed by, reports on, and is about. Integration platforms can be represented as systems and information flows with full transformation and mapping metadata.
Jira & Service Management
No. The core governance workspace runs in Jira. Jira Service Management is recommended when you want a branded intake portal for data asset requests.
Yes. The preferred enterprise pattern is to let an existing service portal raise Data Atlas request types or route governance requests into the Data Atlas review and requests queues.
Yes. Data Atlas uses Jira issues and fields, so you can use Jira filters, dashboards, queues, and reports with your governance data.
Import & Export
Yes. Data Atlas includes an import workflow with a downloadable CSV template, column mapping, validation, and execution. The import is update-only for changed records and create-only for new records — it will not delete existing records absent from the file.
Yes. The export format preserves the same template shape, including relationship columns, so teams can round-trip data safely.
AI & Rovo
Data Atlas includes Rovo actions that can help summarise governance health, find assets, and explain catalogue records when the tenant has Rovo enabled.
No. Rovo can assist with discovery and summarisation, but steward approval and governance decisions remain human-controlled.
Security & Deployment
Data Atlas is a Forge app running on Atlassian infrastructure and uses Jira as the system of record. No external hosting or infrastructure is required.
No. Confluence can be useful for documentation, but Data Atlas does not require it — not all customers have Confluence enabled.
