The team that’s got your back

Ambitious vision

As an independent company, we’re committed to building simple-to-use versatile tools covering the most common use cases.

Great support

We know Jira inside out and understand project management. And above all, we take pride in providing outstanding customer service.

Proven track record

Our apps are all developed and supported in Germany by a team with over ten years of experience helping clients with Jira, Confluence, and Bitbucket.

How we made ESU

ESU started as a side project. We were facing some of our own challenges with Jira. Doing what developers do best — we built ourselves a solution!

Challenge

Our problem was the missing summaries for epics. Our projects were too small to set up a separate Jira project for each, and epics (in what was then GrassHopper) didn’t come with summaries.

Solution

We developed custom summaries to add to our epics. Some of our clients saw that and wanted the same. And that’s how Epic Sum Up was first released in 2015.

Growth

Since then, we — and our clients and partners — have seen many more opportunities to save time in Jira, so we added some really awesome features. As our user base grew, ESU became a top-selling Jira app.

Future

Today, ESU does so much more than summing up your epics; it’s growing into a full-suite project management Jira app. One thing will never change, though — it will always remain simple to use. You can’t make your life easier by adding more complexity.

We create time-saving solutions for teams of all sizes who use Jira and Confluence.

Introducing Epic Sum Up’s new Help Center

When we describe Epic Sum Up, we will often mention that it helps project managers who use Jira find the information they need quickly. We wanted that same principle – finding information simply and quickly – to be fully reflected in our user documentation as well.
