ActionableAgile Analytics® for Jira Cloud is Moving to Forge: Here's Why It Matters

At 55 Degrees, we're always looking for ways to improve the security, performance, and experience of our products. That's why we're excited to announce that ActionableAgile Analytics for Jira Cloud is moving from the Atlassian Connect framework to Atlassian Forge. This shift is more than just a technical update — it unlocks new opportunities for our customers and future-proofs the product for years to come.

Stronger Security with Scoped, Temporary Access

Security has always been a top priority for us. We maintain rigorous security standards, including ISO 27001 and SOC 2 certifications, and we are committed to transparency through our Trust Center. With Forge, ActionableAgile now uses short-lived, scoped OAuth 2.0 tokens to access Jira data. Unlike Connect apps, which could maintain persistent access to your Jira environment, Forge limits access to only what’s needed and only when it's needed. This tighter control significantly reduces risk and improves transparency around what the app can do with your data. Even though we continue to host some parts of the app externally (using Forge Remote), all Jira data access remains strictly secured through Atlassian's infrastructure.

We take your trust seriously and are continually challenging ourselves to meet and exceed security expectations. We would not be moving ActionableAgile to Forge unless we were confident that the platform is fully ready to meet our high standards.

Future-Proofing with Atlassian's Newest Capabilities

Atlassian has made it clear that Forge is the future of app development in their ecosystem. By moving to Forge, ActionableAgile gains access to new APIs, events, and extensibility options that aren't available to Connect apps. This allows us to deliver deeper, more seamless integrations and ensures that as Atlassian evolves, ActionableAgile will stay right at the cutting edge. It also means faster adoption of platform innovations, so you can take advantage of new features as soon as they become available.

Unlocking Exciting New Features

Moving to Forge opens the door to a range of new functionality. We're already working on features like native Jira dashboard gadgets and Confluence macros, making it easier than ever to bring your analytics into the spaces where your teams collaborate every day. With Forge's event-driven architecture, we can also build smarter, more responsive features that proactively support your workflows.

Upgrading to Forge isn't just a behind-the-scenes change — it's an investment in providing you with stronger security, richer functionality, and a better overall experience. We're committed to ensuring that ActionableAgile continues to be the best analytics tool for Jira users, today and into the future.

We’re excited about what’s ahead — and we can’t wait for you to experience it with us!
