Title: Sprint Insights burndown and board ignore estimation setting (Original estimate)

Xenia Chilkowich

My board (team-managed project) has estimation set to "Original estimate" (time tracking). Issues in the sprint have original estimates filled in (e.g., 1 hour on SCS-59).

Two problems:

1. The Sprint Insights panel burndown chart does not reflect these values. It appears to default to story points regardless of the board's estimation setting.

2. The active sprint board does not show a total estimate for the sprint, despite issues having original estimates.

Board ID: 240
Project: SCS (team-managed)
Site: hdip-aws-migration.atlassian.net

Expected: Burndown chart and sprint header use Original estimate values
Actual: Both show nothing / default to story points

Is this a known limitation or a bug?

Hi @Xenia Chilkowich,

As Radwan already explained, this is a limitation of Jira Cloud.

I also performed a quick test and confirmed that the Sprint Burndown chart is not displayed in Insights. Instead, Jira Cloud indicates that only Story Points or work item count are supported.

You could try the following instead:

1. The Sprint Burndown Report available in the board's Reports section
2. Jira's Sprint Burndown Chart gadget

3. If you're open to using a Marketplace app, you can install one that provides this functionality.

For example, our Great Gadgets app includes a powerful Sprint Burndown Burnup Chart gadget that supports all types of time estimates (including Original Estimate), as well as Story Points, work item count, and custom numeric fields.

On its Data tab this gadget offers also a sprint report with detailed information.

Hope this helps.

Danut.
