Board Insights not showing story estimates

daitienshi

Hi all,

I've seen a few posts about this but not really anything that has been able to help me out.

I'm on a company managed instance of JIRA and I've created a board in my project, where I've configured the board to use the Original Story Point Estimate field for estimation.

However, when I go to view the insights for a sprint (and the tasks do indeed have values for the Original Story Points Estimate field), I get the usual message about needing to add estimates.

I've tried with both the selected field as well as the migrated version but none seem to work. Has anyone figured this out? Not sure if it's a project setting that needs to be updated, which might be difficult given it's a company-managed instance and our ability to modify project settings are limited.

Hi @daitienshi

Welcome to the community!

It looks like you've already correctly configured the "Sprint Commitment" section to use the "Original Story Point Estimate" field by updating your "Estimation Method" in the board settings.

My guess is that there might be a mismatch between the estimate field you're using on your issues and the one expected by the report.

Check for Field Mismatch:

1. Issue Details: Open one of the issues in your sprint that has a story point estimate.
2. Field Name: Carefully check the name of the field where you've entered the estimate. Make sure it exactly matches the field you've selected in the "Estimation Method" setting in the board settings.

Additional Tip:

• If you're using a field with the "(migration)" suffix, try using the standard "Original Story Point Estimate" field (without the suffix) instead, just to see if that makes a difference.

Hope this helps!
