The Three-Tab Test

How many windows does it take to finish one Jira task? Open your browser history from yesterday, yes you, just the first hour after you sat down. Now ask yourself: how many tabs did it take to answer one project question?

If it was more than three, you’re not alone. But you might be making things harder than they need to be.

Where the time really goes

One tab for Jira issues. One for the client spreadsheet. One for the budget. Then Slack. Then Confluence. Then maybe an old email chain. By the time you’re back in Jira, the question you were trying to answer has changed.

Research shows that the average user juggles 5–10 open tabs at once. Some even hit 400+ (PCWorld). We don’t need that kind of ambition.

Each tab switch drains time and attention, and not just a little. Studies suggest productivity drops by up to 40% when you’re constantly toggling between contexts (InfiniteJS). You’re not multitasking. You’re just repeatedly starting over.

Why three tabs is the ceiling

If you’re working in Jira, there’s your first tab.
Maybe Confluence is the second.
Your third? A doc, a design, a quick client reference, fine.

But once you’re opening a fourth or fifth tab to find out who the client is, what you promised them, or whether the budget’s about to break, those are things that should’ve been in Jira from the start.

And yes, we get it. Most companies don’t keep that stuff in Jira. They spread it across CRMs, spreadsheets, and shared drives. That’s where the chaos creeps in.

‍This is why we’re doing the Three-Tab Test

We believe customer context and budget clarity belong inside Jira. Not because it sounds nice, but because it saves time, cuts confusion, and keeps projects moving forward.

• That’s why we built Atlas CRM: a native CRM for Jira and Confluence. It brings customer data—like contacts, deals, and interaction history—right into the place your team already works. No more toggling between external CRMs and Jira issues. No more detective work to figure out what’s going on with a client.
• Alongside Atlas CRM, teams use Budgety to bring budget visibility into Jira. No spreadsheet formulas. No version control nightmares. Just clear numbers—planned, actual, remaining—where they belong.
• And of course, none of this works if your Jira Cloud isn’t healthy. That’s where Idalko comes in, helping teams keep their instances clean, stable, and scalable.

Why now? Because tabs are expensive

If you’re doing detective work just to answer, “Who is this for and how much have we spent?”, you’re not managing a project. You’re chasing it.

And you’re not alone:

• 73% of businesses say ease of integration is a top priority in project tools (Hive, 2020).
• Yet most still rely on disconnected tools and copy-pasted updates.
• And with every new tab, you lose a little more of the full picture.

We want to help you get it back.

Join us for “Because Projects Hate Silos”

This isn’t a lecture. It’s a fast-paced event with three short sessions showing how to cut the noise and run better projects, straight from Jira.

Who you’ll hear from:

• Dilara Erecek – Product Marketer at Avisi Apps
• Greta Gómez – Business Developer at Avisi Apps
• Claudia Cornet – Product Sales Executive at Deiser
• Mark de Bont – Operations Manager at Idalko

with the amazing host Federico Baronti from Deiser.

We’ll show:

• How Atlas CRM brings customer relationships back into the actual system of work

• How Idalko helps your setup stay stable, secure, and ready for scale

Plus, we’ll do a live walk-through of what it looks like to run a project with all of this actually in place.

No more guessing who the client is or where the budget went.
Just one space to do the work, see the numbers, and know who it’s for.
