change original estimate to remaining time- backlog

fariba_peyhani April 7, 2025

 

 

All calculations on the backlog page are based on the original estimate. How can I change this to be based on remaining time? Also, velocity is showing based on the original estimate—how can I change it to be based on remaining time?

Hi @fariba_peyhani 

you can configure estimation to show remaining time instead of original estimate.

  • Go to your board settings:
    • Click on the board name in the top left.
    • Select “Board settings”.
  • Click on "Estimation" in the left menu.
  • Change Estimation Type:
    • Choose between:
      • Story points
      • Original Time Estimate
      • Remaining Time Estimate
  • Select "Remaining Time Estimate"
  • Save Changes

Jira will calculate sprint capacity and progress using Remaining Time instead

Hope this helps
