Automate due date based on story points and start date

iatkinse

I want to know if its possible based on below criteria:

---This part already automated--

Story status moves from ToDo to In-Progress
Start Date date added

---Need to automate---

I want to take Story Points and come up with a due date

Example: 1pt would equate to 1-3 days worth of work, due date would be 3 days from start date

Hi @iatkinse -- Welcome to the Atlassian Community!

Yes, that is possible using the automation date / time functions, and either conditional logic or a lookup table to map the values.

However, I recommend trying something different as Story Points are normally used as a relative measure rather than as only a time-based one. Perhaps consider switching to the time tracking estimation rather than with Story Points. Then the "Original Estimate" field could be used to forecast the Due Date.

Kind regards,
Bill

Hmmm not sure where original estimate comes from but these are the fields I have access to, anything else outside of these are not feasible to be turned on. I don't know if that helps. Screenshot 2025-03-07 151439.jpg

I was describing enabling the time tracking features. Once those are enabled, the Log Time features allow using fields such as Original Estimate.

Please discuss this approach with your project admin and team before considering this change.

Ah ok - I wasn't sure how that field worked but yes I could add timing into the time tracking and it show within the timeline view - thanks
