Progress vs (sigma) Progress

Rémi Sénéchal

Hi! I'm very confused trying to filter out the progress in dashboards. I have a gadget where I want to be able to display and filter by remaining progress so that I can visualize what is on track and what is gonna likely miss the mark. 

One Issue that is particularly mind boggling to me is showing as is: 

Progress: 0% / (sigma) Progress: 50% 

And when I click on the Issue the bar shows 66% Done...

Can someone clarify this for me please

Based on what I found trying to lookup the difference between the two, the Ʃ (sigma) represents the issue plus it's subtasks (and possibly tasks).  I suspect that your issue had 3 subtasks, 2 of which were marked Done, and the aggregate of those three tasks plus the main issue (with it not being completed yet) set your percentage to 50% progress for all 4 combined.  Maybe the issue itself carries a greater "weight" than the subtasks, but I suspect that is why the bar showed 66% (2/3 complete) but the overall percent shows 50%.

I hope an answer one year later is better than no answer at all.
