Technical problem in Time estimation and deletion of task

[Biswash Lamsal]

I have been suggested to use Scrum template by someone in this forum and it works preety well for my software development projects for my company. Howerver, I have faced few technical problems in it:

1) All my tasks donot show the remaining time left for my task. Lets say, I have 'Task A' that I estimated would take me 4 hrs and I already did some work on it for 3 hours. It does'nt show me that I have 1 hour remaining. It shows for few tasks but the time is wrong. I use Tempo to log my time.

2) I am the admin for the project and my project is company managed project. I am the admin of my company's Jira account as well. But still, I cannot delete a task in my scrum board. I can delete the tasks if I am using some other template. But for scrum, this does'nt work.

It would be really helpful if I could solve this proble. For my tasks or sprint as well, it would ber better to show the remaining time for that task instead of original estimated time.

Hi @Biswash Lamsal

What I’d suggest you check/do:

1. In the board for your Scrum project: go to Board → Configure → Estimation (or Board Settings → Estimation) and check that "Time Tracking" is enabled.

2. Deleting issues is governed by a project permission scheme. The permission called “Delete Issues” must include your user (or a role/group you belong to) for that project. Being a Board Administrator or Project Administrator doesn’t automatically grant that permission.

Thank You Gor Greyan for you feedback. My time tracking is on for the board and it does show the remaining time for some of the tasks. However, it does not show the remaining times for few. Also, the remaining time that it shows is wrong.
