Sprint Storypoint Overview

[feigentee]

I'm using a user story in a sprint as a resource planner to check my load before starting the sprint. For this resource user story I put my available story points as a negative number. When I then have a look at the sprint overview, my story points ideally end up being zero, so I know I'm optimally loaded or optimize my load and delete the resource story before starting the sprint.

However, there is an issue with this summation. As soon the difference becoming larger than -1 and smaller than 0, the result is always positive.

Example:

-10 (Story1), 10 (Story2) --> 0 (Result)

-10 (Story1), 9 (Story2) --> -1 (Result)

-10 (Story1), 9.2 (Story2) --> 0.8 (Result) instead of -0.8

-10 (Story1), 9.9 (Story2) --> 0.1 (Result) instead of -0.1

-10 (Story1), 10.1 (Story2) --> 0.1 (Result)

Can someone explain this?

Hi @feigentee -- Welcome to the Atlassian Community!

Are you using Jira Cloud and a team-managed project?  If so, the symptom you are observing could be related to this defect: https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/JSWCLOUD-18090

Although that problem appears to relate to mathematical rounding rather than inverting the sign of the sum.  Perhaps you could post some actual screen images to confirm where you are seeing this behavior.

Otherwise...if you are on a paid Jira license, you may want to ask your site admin to submit a ticket to Atlassian support so they can take a closer look: https://support.atlassian.com/contact/#/
