Find sum of remaining estimes for a sprint?

Claus Østergaard Pedersen

Hi,

I'm having trouble finding a way to see the total sum of Remaining Estimates (hours) for sprints.

Does anybody have an idea of how I can find this information?

As far as I can tell, there isn't a way to show it in the Backlog, as remaining estimate cant be chosen as Estimation Statistic (I know that I can add Remaining Estimate to the issue cards, but that doesn't give me the sum for the entire sprint) . Likewise, I cant find any gadgets in the Dashboards that will summarize the Remaining Estimates for a sprint.

I hope someone can point me in the right direction, and I'll much appreciate any suggestions.

Best regards,

Claus

Hello @Claus Østergaard Pedersen ,

Indeed that's a though one, you can try using the "Burndown Chart" gadget from a dashboard;

Then, you would have to go to your board settings, in the "Estimation" parameters and select the "Remaining estimate and ... " option :

Then your burndown chart should decrease depending on the remaining estimate, hence you'll be able to know the total remaining estimate of the sprint i guess.

Let me know how it goes,

Hi Guilhem,

First off all, thanks a lot for your quick reply!

I tried what you suggested, and I can now see the total Remaining Estimate for the sprint in the Sprint Burndown Gadget on my dashboard.

I do wish there was alternative ways to get this information, so that you wouldn't have to "eyeball" it from a chart, as this exercise gets increasingly difficult if the scope of the sprint is changed when the sprint is active.

It would be nice if you could ad a sum total in, lets say, the filter results gadget in Dashboards.

Best regards

Hi @Claus Østergaard Pedersen ,

You're welcome
I know it's not perfect, but unfortunately, as far as I know there is no way to obtain the information you need in Jira.

Maybe you could try with the "Workload Pie Chart" gadget if it's available in your instance (it may come with the Tempo app so I'm not 100% sure you'll be able to use it).

Let me know how it goes !

Hi @Guilhem Dupuy

The "Workload Pie Chart" is actually pretty good! As far as I can tell, it shows the total of "Remaining Estimate" when you choose "Current Estimate" in "Time field to report on".

Thanks a lot for you suggestions!

Best regards
