What is the best solution to manage a schedule and track specifics within the JIRA Cloud Software. Being able to view what is behind and what is ahead of schedule? Is there a plug in available for this?

Hello Swells,

The own JIRA Software application has the Time tracking or Story Points estimations that you can use to estimate the time/points needed to complete each of your issues and also log all the time the users have performed so far.

Once you start your work with your Sprints or releases, you will also be asked to measure a time/points to complete it, so you can use reports like the Release Burndown to check if your team is falling behind the clock in a global view based in the time tracking/Story Points you added in the issues of that Sprint/Release.

To have a complete list of JIRA reports and what kind of data/estimations you are able to return with them, you can check the documentation below:

- JIRA Reports

To have a more detailed explanation about how the Time Tracking or Story Points functionalities work, you can check the documentation below:

Let me know if this information helps.
