Parent: 1.19

Start Date: 20/Mar/12

End Date: 9/Apr/12

Release Date: 9/Apr/12

Please how can it get this number [9] ? the number must be [13] days not [9] ???????

[Nic Brough -Adaptavist-]

I'm not sure that my logic matches what Jira is doing, but I get 9 days too

Your sprint is set to cover three weeks, as below. My x's represent the days you've said "non working day", and the numbers are a counter.

20 Mar  Tue  1
21 Mar  Wed  2
22 Mar  Thu  3
23 Mar  Fri  non-working
24 Mar  Sat  non-working
25 Mar  Sun  4
26 Mar  Mon  5

27 Mar  Tue  6
28 Mar  Wed  7
29 Mar  Thu  8
30 Mar  Fri  non-working
31 Mar  Sat  non-working
 1 Apr  Sun  9
 2 Apr  Mon 10

3 Apr  Tue 11
 4 Apr  Wed 12
 5 Apr  Thu 13
 6 Apr  Fri  non-working
 7 Apr  Sat  non-working
 8 Apr  Sun 14
 9 Apr  Mon  15 Release

By my counting, you should therefore get 15 days.

However, your time-tracking says there are only 5 working days per week, so you need to remove 2 days per working week, which means you get 15 -6 = 9 days...

Thanks for your reply but

20 [1], 21[2], 22 [3], 25 [4], 26 [5], 27 [6], 28 [7], 29 [8], 1 [9], 2 [10], 3 [11], 4 [12], 5 [13], 8 [14], 9 [15]

Although non wroking days calculated before 6 days

Today 26 / 3 / 2012 >>>> The counter on dashboard now {8} , the counter must be 26 [11] 11 Days

If you have answer for this issue please reply me

I'm sorry, my formatting got all messed up when I posted the original. I've re-done it as a code block, which seems more clear.

I don't understand what you're asking now though. What I'm trying to point out is that you have told Jira that your sprint is 21 days long, with 6 non-working days, and 5 working days per week (i.e. 2 in 7 are also non-working). 21 - 6 - (3 * 2) = 9 days. Whatever order you do the two "2 days not working", you get 9 working days in the three weeks.

[haitham ahmed]

Our Sprint is 15 days without non working days

[Nic Brough -Adaptavist-]

Yes, I understand that, but you've added a load of non-working days to that particular sprint, so it's cutting it down more.

You've got 21 days listed

You have set your working week to 5 days, which means you need to remove 2 in every 7 days, which, for 3 weeks, means 6 to remove.

You've set up non-working days = 6, so you need to subtract them.

That leaves 9 working days.

[haitham ahmed]

The number of working hours per day is 9.
The number of working days per week is 5.

2 non- working days + 5 working days = total 7 days our sprint 21 days = 3 weeks that's right ok until now

we start sprint 20/03/2012 and it ends 09/04/2012 we cancel 2 non- working days for every week so non- working days will be 6 days

20/3 [15], 21/3 [14], 22/3 [13], 25/3 [12], 26/3 [11], 27/3 [10], 28/3 [9], 29/3 [8], 1/4 [7], 2/4 [6], 3/4 [5], 4/4 [4], 5/4 [3], 8/4 [2], 9/4 [1]

Today 26 / 3 / 2012 >>>> The counter on dashboard now {8 Days Remaining} , the counter must be 26/3 [11 Days Remaining ]

How can change this number from 8 to 11?

Thanks for your replies and effort with me

I got the reason we calculated non-working days twice the one time in General Configuration under GreenHopper, the second time in General Configuration on project's level How can i remove non-working days in General Configuration on project's level , Jira replys

GreenHopper includes global non-working days, they can be modified below to meet specific project requirements. Note: Global non-working days can be modified by your JIRA Administrator. These dates will not be shown in your charts. All worklogs will be associated to the previous working day.

[Nic Brough -Adaptavist-]

I don't understand what the confusion is - based on what you've got in Jira/Greenhopper, it's doing the right calculation, and I don't get why you keep saying it's wrong. It's probably me just not being able to grasp what I'm reading - could you explain why you are expecting non-working days to be included as working days?

You've got 5 working days per week.

Then you've got global non-working days (which you hadn't mentioned before),

Then you've duplicated that at a project level.

You need to remove the duplicated days to begin with (project administration level), and then talk to your admins about the global non-working days, as it sounds like they might be wrong.

[haitham ahmed]

I got it , i was supposed to change the number of working days per week from 5 to 7 in time tracking.

Many thanks for your replies and effort with me

Hmm lets see, from my count:

1 - March 26th
2 - March 27th
3 - March 28th
4 - MArch 29th
5 - April 2nd (March 30th is a non working day)
6 - April 3rd
7 - April 4th
8 - April 5th
9 - April 9th (Release date, April 6th is a non working day)

Sums to 9 days, The bigger question is how did you get 13 :)
