Wrong Story Point calculation

[Andjela Milicevic]

I saw that jira calculates story points as in progress even though they are in to do status

I find tickets that are calculated as in progress and their sttaus is to do, wghen I move them to done it works ok (in progress decreases), but t's wrong;  they are to do not in progress.

Pictures to represent that

Hi @Andjela Milicevic 

Welcome to the community.

The calculation is based on the column where the workflow status is placed on the sprint board.

If the To Do status is not in the first column the calculation see this as the issue in progress.

See this example where I switched the to do and in progress state on the board and how this impacts the calculation on the backlog

Hey Marc,

Thanks for the fastest reply ever! This was helpful.

You are right, I didn't know that I cant have 2 columns that are in to-do status, I thought that statuses in columns define their statuses

So in my case, I assume that its the best practice to have just one to-do column and all three statuses in that column
