Synchronisation of Remaining Time Estimate

Question

Hi,

we are breaking down our taks into subtasks and estimating the remaining time on the subtask level.

Our Project managers are managing resource capacity on the parent level with a plug-in. However this plug-in is not able to show the aggregated workload of the subissues as the workload of the parent task as Jira does.

This is a problem for our managers.

Therefore my question.

Is there a plug-in that synchronize the remaining time estimate of the parent with the remaining time estimate of the subissues.

I only found an plug-ins which synchronize customfields and the work-logged field.

Thanks for your answer.

Cheers,

Simon

Hi Nic,

I would like to make the aggregated remaining time estimate of the sub issues the remaining time estimate of the parent issue.

Is there a plug-In or another solution for this. We are currently planning to write a synchronizer for the database which sums the remaining time estimate of the sub issues and copies the value as the remaining time estimate of the parent issue.

But I would be happy if we can use an already available solution.

There are a number of ways to "access" the aggregates, but it depends on where you want to "access" them.  In the context of an issue view, the issue navigator, reports and dashboard gadgets, they are available as fields.  So you just use them as such.

The next thing we'll need is to know is what context you are trying to access them in.

Hi Nic,

thanks for your answer.

Do you know a way to access the aggregate "fields" and use that value as the remaining time estimate of the parent issue dynamically?
