How to show Percent Complete of Stories

Question

Assume there is a Story with 8 Story Points and with 4 sub-tasks under it. Those 8 points are being worked by different individuals and would take at least 4-5 days to close it. However daily there would be some progress on tasks and 1 task may get closed daily. If i see burndown chart, the chart would show a flat line for next 4-5 days even though some amount of work has been burnt.

How do i show that 25% or 50% of the story has been burnt?

Also,

How do you all use Story Points in Conjunction with "Original Estimate" and "Remaining Estimate"

Hi Prasad, Did you figure out how to achieve the above? Even I am after something like this.

Hi @Warren  -

How do I achieve the below reports, as we are using the JIRA Agile projects?

* Burndown report against the time consumed (not user story points as it’s right now)
* Report that consolidates the progress in the percentage of each user story depending on the sub-tasks it has and based on the estimation of each sub-task, and based on which sub-tasks are marked as Done.
* Report that shows which sub-tasks were created after day 1 of the sprint per user story. (with estimated time and logged time)
* Report with all the consumed hours of each developer segregated by user story and sub-task.
* Report that displays per Sprint, which sub-task was on average estimated less than the logged time.
* Report that per sprint shows the estimated time of each user story (adding sub-tasks) versus the time logged (adding time logged at sub-task level)
* Report that per user story identifies which tasks had the most delay according to the initial plan.

Hi

Strictly speaking, what you've described is the correct view, because you are creating "value", and until the whole Story is complete, you don't have any value.

If you use time estimates for the sub-tasks, you could switch the Burndown to show remaining time estimate, then as work is completed on a sub-task, it will show less remaining time.
