Estimation Difficulties

Darren Weaver

Currently we have a very involved process of completing estimates.

1. We complete estimates using an "enhancement" ticket type and workflow

2. The process is managed largely outside of JIRA with only entry of numbers occurring within JIRA.

3. Numbers are entered in a custom field we created for estimation.

There has to be a better way. Please help us!

A very easy answer to this would be "Dump your external process and put realistic estimates into Jira".

I doubt that could work for you, there's probably a lot of stuff going on we don't know about which would get in the way of doing it better. But we can't really tell you a lot more than that.

I would recommend getting a BA in to look at the process and how it could be improved (ideally, one with good Atlassian experience, so they can also help you translate it into Jira better)

does adaptavist have a recommended workflow for estimation. Some of our clients request high level estimates and then refined estimates if the effort is within their cost benefit analysis.

We couldn't make any recommendations without knowing a lot more about your processes and how you would really like to work.

High-level and refine later is a good starting outline, but there are so many options within it, we can't tell you a lot more.

I'm just surprised that JIRA doesn't have estimates fields out of the box.
