Warning of Estimate Field for stories while creating a sprint

Shravan Kumar Boragala

I have created screen schemes for epics and stories, where I haven't added estimated field.

This field was automatically calculated from the sub tasks automatically.

But when I am trying to start a sprint, it is showing a warning as below:

Issues SAMDOC-10 and SAMDOC-8 do not have a value for the 'Estimate' field. Values entered after the start of the sprint will be treated as scope change.

How to overcome the above  warning?

Enter the estimates on the stories.  Scrum only looks at the Story estimates because there is no partially done concept - an issue is either complete (so it can be burned down) or it is not (so it's open and can't count).  Sub-tasks are irrelevant in burn-down, so Jira ignores them.

(There are uses for estimates at sub-task levels and several ways to approach handling them.  But because coding for all the possibilities is a big task, and wouldn't change burn-down, Atlassian have chosen to simply not do it.  So you need the estimates on the Story level)
