Data Type: Duration
Entry Type: Calculated
Description: How to display duration in Jira tasking projects?
The Duration field is the total span of active working time for a task. This is generally the amount of working time from the start to the finish of a task (business days).
How Calculated: Duration of a task/issue will be calculated by counting the amount of active working time (business days) between the scheduled start and end of the task. This is generally the time from task start to finish, not counting time between split tasks or nonworking time.
Best Uses In tasking projects, duration for task will be entered when I create the Jira plan. It is the span of time shown by the Gantt bars on the Gantt Chart.
Example Chris is scheduled to work on the "Write proposal" task on Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday.
Jamie is scheduled to work on the "Write proposal" task on Wednesday and Thursday.
Sean is scheduled to work on the "Write proposal" task on the following Monday and Tuesday.
The working span of the "Write proposal" task, and therefore its duration, is five days (Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Monday, and Tuesday).
