Trying to have a field/column showing schedule variance

Question

Hi there.  I would like to have a field/column that shows the variance between 2 other fields/columns we have on our JPD board.  One column states the planned project completion month per our annual planning process.  Another column states the month that the project is currently expected to complete.  Is there a way that I can use a custom formula to express the difference between those 2 things?  Right now it seems like the custom formula does not allow for that, but I am not sure.  Thanks! -Jason

Hi Jason,

It is not something that can be done today using custom formulas in Jira Product Discovery.

However to track estimated dates and actual delivery dates, I would suggest to take a look at Atlas: https://www.atlassian.com/software/atlas

As you can see on the front page, this tool is really made for tracking project due dates, and give you in a glance the ones that are on track off track based on the original estimation.

I think your use case is fully covered in the Free plan, and we are planning an integration between Atlas and Jira Product Discovery later this year :)

I hope it helps, 
Cheers,

Hermance
