Hi Team,

I have a requirement in our project to show a cummulative of QA story points and Dev story points on the JIRA board.

For this, I have created a new field called QA story points in my board. Next I will create a new field which will be sum of QA story points and Dev Story points.

Can someone please help me know if this new field(sum of QA story points and Dev Story points) can be shown on JIRA just like the attached screenshot. This is what I see right now on my board which is the sum of added story points ( excluding QA story points) for all ticketsScreenshot 2025-06-20 at 2.43.01 PM.png

Hi @Sheen Kaul,

Welcome to Atlassian Community!

It should be possible, at least on company-managed projects. 

Just go to the board configuration and change the Estimation methods to your field:

As a result, your agile board will display the values of the new field.

But please note that the board will no longer use Story Points (or what you had before) as estimation method of the tasks; it will use the new field. Is this what you want?

Hi @Sheen Kaul

Welcome to the Atlassian Community!

As far I know, it is not possible to show sum of QA and Dev story points on Jira board. If you prefer using a marketplace app, you can display "Sum of QA Story Points" and "Sum of Dev Story Points" on your Jira dashboard by using Sum Up Reports for Jira app developed by our team.

This app provides various table reports based on the fields you choose.

  • You can list the issue fields you want and sum up the values at the bottom.
  • You can group your data on any field (sprint, status, assignee, component, project etc.) and sum up the field values (story points, time estimate etc.) or take averages.
  • You can add this app as a gadget to your Jira dashboards.

For your case, you can create a table report which has Sum of Story Points grouped by Sprint as can be seen below. Under Columns you can add your own custom Story Points fields (QA Story Points, Dev Story Points).

For further details, you can have a look at Sum Up and Average Reports in Jira Dashboards article.

If you have any questions, feel free to schedule a call with us.

 Hope it helps.

Hi @Sheen Kaul 

Welcome to the community.

You can show the field values on the issues, via the board settings, but there is no option function to show them the same a story points as shown in your screenshot.

Thanks Marc. In that case, what is the best way to calculate the total story points for that sprint.

Checking each story for the cumulative story point would be a tedious taks.

Hi @Sheen Kaul 

See the template automation Sum up story points.

https://www.atlassian.com/software/jira/automation-template-library/sum-up-story-points 

Adjust this rule to your needs, so the total number of points for QA, etc.. field is populated.

Then you will need to show this information on a dashboard.
