Thanks @Stephen_Lugton, you raise a valid point about context switching costs. However, the framing reveals a common trap: maximizing individual output at the expense of team throughput. When PR reviews aren't prioritised you get exactly what Little's Law predicts: items accumulate in the "waiting for review" queue, cycle…

Thanks @Elena_Elevatic! You nailed the key point - the data should spark conversations and be the catalyst for change. Appreciate you reading!"

You are absolutely right - it seems in Jira Company-managed Projects - Kanban boards - can not display - Estimate (i.e. the story point estimate field) as you can with a Scrum board: Kanban - Board view settings (no option to show Estimates) Scrum - Board view settings In this case, I would create a Scrum Board instead and…

Hi there @William Ledda , Earlier this year, I created a step-by-step guide on how to do this: https://smartguess.is/blog/how-to-add-story-points-jira/ Let me know if anything is missing or confusing, so I can improve on it! I verified what you are saying - Company-managed projects - don't have - Space settings -> Features…

Hi there @Matteo Vecchiato I am sorry, but I am not sure I understand what you mean. Relative estimates (T-shirt, story points, other estimation or forecasting methods) are not limited to teams running sprints. Sara and her team are using Kanban and can use any method they find works well for them to determine their…

I would use Story points rather than T-shirt estimates - because you can easlily add up the story points you complete each week - which you cant do easily with T-shirt estimates. The problem with T-shirt estimates is that in one sprint you might complete - Four stories - S, S, S, S - Next sprint you complete two stories…

Just opened the meeting - was restricted before ;)

Sure - let connect in 4 minutes!

Ok from your image here you are in a Company managed project: This is clear because you have added three field to the card layout, (priority, somefield, story point estimate) - which is only possible for Company managed Projects. I was able to replicate the problem you are describing. I tried doing the same in my Company…

@Daniele Spitaletta this certainly is strange. I am up for a short meeting to debug this issue with you: Video call link: https://meet.google.com/qmf-wgdc-hoe In the next 20 minutes. Are you avaiable?

Thanks @Bill Sheboy - just updated my post!

Ok it seems you got the wrong Story point field added! I was assuming Jira doesn't allow you to add the wrong field - it seems am wrong about that. There are two Story point fields: * Story point estimate - work for Team managed project * Story Points - works for Company managed project Fix your problem by 1. Identify…

Hi again @Daniele Spitaletta , I just reviewed and updated my article here: https://smartguess.is/blog/how-to-add-story-points-jira/ One problem you might be encountering is you haven't added the story point field for all issue types in your project - you might only added story points to one issue type. Check out step b…

Here is a full guide I wrote up the other day: https://smartguess.is/blog/how-to-add-story-points-jira/ (Just to be clear, I build the app and work for the company - Smart Guess ehf.) You are at step 3: I m not able to add, edit story point value from the backlog see image pls. I have assigned any story point to a single…

You can also edit the story point value from the backlog - issue panel. You do this by open the issue in the backlog (by clicking the - backlog item) and edit it's story point under the details panel: (check out the video below - to see how this is done) The field name in your project is either "Story points" or "Story…

@Daniele Spitaletta - you got the story point field setup correctly. I say this because you have already placed the field on your screen: The reason why you cant find the field - is because there isn't another field starting with "sto" in your project. From your screenshot I can also see you havent assigned any story point…

Hi @Daniele Spitaletta If I am not mistaken the badge with the "-" inside - is your story points field from your "backlog issue card": On mouseOver - it will show a Tooltip like this: On click - it will allow you to edit like this: Let me know if it helps! Tip: You can now (with the right tool) run your planning meeting…

Hi @Aurelie Seth how do you order your Jira backlog? (Your board filter defines the query in use) By default the "Board filter" is defined as: project = YOUR-PROJECT-KEY ORDER BY Rank ASC By adding a "Quick filter" to your board labels=NextSprint AND 'Story Points' IS EMPTY ..you can now (with the right tool) run the story…

Hi there, @Jodie Parsons You might want to check out Smart Guess — it allows you to include issues from multiple projects, team or company managed, and automatically saves the story points regardless of what project, story point fields is in use. It's a Planning Poker app that lets you run estimation sessions directly from…

Hi @lnreddy_darukumalli If you’re looking for a Planning Poker solution for just one team, Atlassian Marketplace apps are typically billed based on the total number of users in your Jira instance, not just the specific users who need the app. This means that if you have a 1000-user Jira license, most paid apps will require…

@Joost Reijnen, I think opening JPD to 3rd party developers can help here, just as it allows Jira to cover more jobs quickly. Knowing you are building on top of Jira team-managed projects, at Smart Guess, we would be interested in offering a one-click real-time estimation of effort/impact working something like this: To…

Thanks for sharing, because I just learned Teresa Torres book, Continuous Discovery Habits, on the topic is now available 🎉 I had seen Teresa Product talk few years back and connected with the problem. I now have a book to read over the weekend 🤓🙌

@Jean-Emmanuel BANQUEY, @Vaishali Patil @Bill Sheboy very interesting! How do you use Magic Estimation to estimate effort of "JPD - Ideas"?

You are right @Erin Mihalik: High Level Effort and Business Value can be done natively in the current app However, the current implementation is missing one fundamental principle in Planning Poker. The principle is to prevent anchoring, which is essential when a group of people is giving input on an effort. To prevent…

Great feedback @Lasse Lambertsen @Vaishali Patil Here is a solution released last year focusing on removing the back and forth, between existing Planning Poker solutions and the Jira issue: https://smartguess.is It does so by integrating Planning Poker directly within the Jira backlog and Issue view. Three questions: * Am…

Hi @Chris Mitchell , Another option you only need 3 minutes to install and get started is using a tool without limitations, such as Smart Guess for Planning Poker: * https://marketplace.atlassian.com/apps/1225496 I am the founder of Smart Guess, and here is what customer said who switched from one of the most widely used…

Hi @Lesa Miller, cc @Bill Sheboy On your question about other app suggestions! You might want to consider Smart Guess for Planning Poker, allowing your team to give an estimate directly from the issue, backlog, roadmap - regardless of whether the story is in a sprint or not. It is different from other tools because you…

Hi Victoria, Just saw your post and created a short video on how you add story points to tasks in Jira: https://smartguess.is/blog/how-to-add-story-points-to-tasks-in-jira/ You might be using team managed project (the example is using company manged project) but it should basically be the same. Let me know if any questions…

Here is the answer from Atlassian on this: https://community.atlassian.com/t5/Jira-questions/Story-point-Story-point-estimate-fields/qaq-p/1024757#U1026417 In short - Company mangaed project (Classic projects) - keep story estimates in a field called "Story Points" - Team managed projects (Next-gen projects) - keep story…
