Did JIRA Discontinue the Hourly Burndown Charts???

Steve Josue_92slty

We are running Data Center 9.1.0 and want to use sub-tasks with hour estimation and I can't find anything on the hourly burndown. This would complement the Story Point Burndown nicely with more granular trends.

Thanks in Advance folks!!

Hi Steve,

Looking at our Jira 9 instance it appears they did but too me at least understandably so. I do understand the frustration when things go missing. However, Atlassian as an Open company has always valued not creating inappropriate competition. Unfortunately too many people when looking at granular data such as things like hourly burn down use it in the wrong way. By this I mean as a way to view it to show people aren't doing their job rather than what the value of story points is supposed to be. Story points really aren't supposed to measure time but rather effort and many people confuse that.

There are other apps you can purchase that have more granularity however, in my mind they really shouldn't be necessary if using story points to measure difficulty rather than hours worked. Hours worked has it's own field, the time estimate fields.

Best,
Clark
