This will let you compare your original estimate with how long it actually took to resolve the issue. Once you've started to work on a specific issue, log time to keep a record of it. For example, you could estimate 3w or 2d 4h 30m. You can enter time estimates and log time in weeks (w), days (d), hours (h), and minutes (m). You can use the time tracking report to compare the original and current time estimates for issues in the current project.

Select the issue and choose the Story points, Original estimate, or custom estimation field.Įnter the number of story points or amount of time you believe it'll take to complete work on the issue.

This will be set to story points (where you only estimate story and epic issue types), original time estimate, issue count, or another custom method. Estimate an issueīefore you start work on an issue, you can set a time or other type of estimate to calculate how much work you believe it'll take to resolve it. The field you set your estimate in depends on what's chosen as your estimation method. Anyone with the Browse Project permission can view time tracking info on an issue. Make sure that your Jira admin has enabled time tracking, and that you have the Work on Issues, Delete Work Logs, and Edit Work Logs project permissions. Learn more about parent and child issues.

We recommend limiting the number of child issues per issue to 100. If you have more than 100 child issues on an issue, you won't be able to include them in time tracking.
