Why is the estimate in my scrum board displayed as 0?

Ollie Guan

Hi guys,

I have some problems when using Scrum Board to show the estimated workload.

The remaining in the board are currently accurate, but the estimate shows 0, and it seems that there are no cumulative calculations for subtasks.

Hello Ollie,

To make the field estimation to display its value, your board estimation should be based on the Original Time estimate. Navigate to your Board settings > Estimate and check if it is properly configured.

Also, JIRA does not sum the sub-task estimation as an intended behavior, so the Estimation should all be added to the story itself.

Please, feel free to vote on the feature request below if you think that sub-tasks estimation should also be summed to the board:
