Time tracking - remaining estimate displays wrong hours

lisa.skantze

Hello!

I have a problem with Time Tracking.

I have a story with sub-tasks. On story level I have the original time estimate of 100 hours.

In the sub-tasks I have logged time that exceeds the 100 hours by 29 hours.

Logged time says: 129 hours

But remaining time says: 104 hours (see screenshot added)

There are no estimates added to the sub-tasks - there is only the one estimate for the user story.

Is there something wrong with the cloud version? Or am I doing something wrong? Why does it say that the time remaining is 104h?

The percentage of the graphs appear correct but the numbers are wrong.

Is anyone else experiencing this?

Kind regards,

Lisa

Hey Lisa,

The issue is likely that you placed the Original Estimate on your Story and not on your Sub-Tasks.

Time logged against the Sub-Tasks won't burn down time on the parent Story.

It would be useful for you to untick Include sub-tasks and give us another screenshot. I have an idea, but would rather wait until I see the results of the next screenshot

Hi Warren,

Here you go!

Ok - so there should be no time estimate on the story and only on the sub tasks?

lisa.skantze

Are you sure this is the way it works?

Hi Tyler,

I just tried to add one story without any time estimate.

I added three subtasks with estimate of 10 hours each.

I logged:

Sub-task 1 - 4h

Sub-task2 - 10h

Sub-task3 - 5h

19 hours logged. Still remaining time says 6 hours? This should be 11 hours.

Providing screenshot.

Thankful for any input on this.

Regards,

Lisa

Hi Lisa

With respect to your screenshot with sub-tasks test1, test2 and test3, what you're seeing there is correct.

test3 only has 5hrs logged of a 10hr task, but it is complete (100%). When you complete a task, Jira automatically sets the remaining time to 0, because you're not going to do any more work on it - it's complete. So the only remaining time on the story is the 6hrs for test1. This all makes sense and is correct.

Hi Warren,

But it is not complete - I just logged 5 hours as I did 4 hours on sub-task 1. Why is it different. I think sub-task 1 behaved correct - I have 6 hours left. However Sub-task 3 - where I added 5 hours - should say 5 hours remaining. Right?
