YTD Totals?

[Linda Hagedorn]

Is it possible to get YTD totals in Jira Align? 

My manager has asked his team to total up the days used (sick, vacation, holiday, etc.) and I can't see going through 40 weeks of timesheets.  Jira Align should be able to show some totals. Does anyone know if this is possible?  

Thanks!

Hi @Linda Hagedorn -

Jira Align is fundamentally a system designed to visualize the flow of value creation through the enterprise as measured in points delivered by teams (and other lean and  value metrics). It is not intended to be a time tracking system. That being said....

You can (only) get (all of?) that info out of Jira Align if your company purchased the separate time tracking module which was used to track all forms of time (including non-work focused time).

Without that (additional time tracking) module (which I don't know if it is still available, I need to check), you can get work-related hours from Jira Align if:

• your teams use sub-tasks with hours in Jira connected to stories (and story-level connected issue types) or if
• you use Tempo and have it configured to link to Jira Align instead of Jira hours on sub-tasks.
  • Please see this post by Atlassian's @Katherine Gray on the Tempo integration.

Please feel free to reach out if you have any other questions. I've been implementing AgileCraft/Jira Align with Jira for close to seven years.

Regards,
Peter
