Sum Story Points to Epic

Bryan Riley

Is there any way to get the story points summarized into a custom field and applied to the Epic that they are attached to? For example...

I have epic TEST-1

Stories TEST-2 and TEST-3 each are assigned to epic TEST-1, and each have 7 points assigned to them.

When I view TEST-1, I'd like to have a custom field that shows me there are 14 points within that Epic.

Hello Briley,

I believe that you can use the "Calculated Number Field" of JIRA Misc Custom Fields Plugin. Please find on the link below more details about the usage of it:

https://studio.plugins.atlassian.com/wiki/display/JMCF/Home#Home-calculatednumberfield

And the link for downloading the plugin: https://marketplace.atlassian.com/plugins/com.innovalog.jmcf.jira-misc-custom-fields

Cheers!

This was my original thought - however from what I understand if we're using the Epic/Theme field to put the Epic key in (instead of actually linking the Epics to stories) this may not work.

Are you aware of a formula that I could use where the Epic/Theme field can be used? For example, if stories TEST-2 and TEST-3 were both flagged with 'TEST-1' in the Epic/Theme field.

This would go well with this request:

I think the plugin "Epic Sum Up" is exactly what you need!

Can we get the Epic Sum up field in the issue navigator to get excel report?

Anyone any idea on the formula you would need to write for summing story points of user stories to the calculated number field for an epic? and is it possible to then use that field in a dashboard in Confluence?

This plugin is no longer supported for JIRA cloud, does anyone know of an alternative?

Hi Bryan,

A bit late, but I have a solution for this on Jira Cloud.

I created a plugin called Agile Docs which displays the total number of story points in each Epic.

As an added bonus, you can interact with your project in a tree view like a google doc.

Hope that helps!

@Rhys Diab _Rogue Wombat Software_ - Any chance this will be made available for Jira Server?

B.J. Dekkers

In Portfolio you can show the total of underlying story point (improved interface). Remember to select the option "Show rolled-up values" under View settings

Possibly, but Atlassian is really pushing their cloud products at the moment so I wanted to concentrate on cloud for the time being. I'll build a server version if there's enough demand.

I've found a simple workaround for this on Jira Cloud. Simply filter your epic in the backlog and you will get category totals.

Boo, it's so much easier to do on Pivotal.

we would like it to be on data center

Lauren Pennisi

How does this idea work, Isaiah?

Mats_8u8thh

If you go to the backlog, and select an epic, the total sum of story points for the epic in each sprint or backlog is shown in the grey/blue/green circles.

Can be done in Jira Server, but you need to have the Dataplane reporting module added to Jira:

Create a Dataplane report: Sum Numeric Field

Choose

Value Of: Story Points
Segment by: Epic Link
horizontal bar chart

Save the Dataplane Report

Then to publish in a Confluence Page, Edit a Conf Page: click:

+(insert more content)
Other macros
External content
Arsenale Dataplane report
Choose your Saved Dataplane report name

@Alex Fairweather (HVDT34) this is awesome. how to get the Dataplane reporting module added to Jira? We are using Jira server version 9.4.14.
