Also curious what other people use as well.
Situation:
PM's input hours into Original Time Estimate Field in Jira.
Developers log their hours against tickets using Jira Add-On called TimeTracker.
Complications:
- Time Tracker works great against the direct ticket. It can not aggregate or roll-time up to a parent ticket.
Request from PM's - Create a Jira automation that will notify the PM's and the Sales Reps when actual developer time logged is 80% of the Original Estimated Time has elapsed.
Notifications themselves should not be a problem. Question is more to do with:
1) how would I set up automation query
2) how would your company do something like this? Any recommendations?
(Sorry if nebulous, need help with # 1 and just curious on #2 if there are better/different ways to track dev time)
I'd start with this, and debug from there
To push logged work up to the Parent Issue:
To Monitor for >80%:
I literally had a request for functionality like this yesterday. You have probably saved me hours of poking around!

It turns out the workRatio value (expressed as a numeral between 0 - 100, no percent sign necessary) IS this value, so a query of
workRatio > 80
is all you need :)

Issue 1 - Complications:
- Time Tracker works great against the direct ticket. It can not aggregate or roll-time up to a parent ticket.
Approach - Time tracking should be done against sub-tasks (under all stories/tasks/bugs) so that they roll up to parent ticket. You can write an automation rule to trigger updation of estimation field of parent story/task as soon as subtask estimation is updated.
Post which you can use workratio field to check if it has reached 80.
Issue 2 -
Notifications themselves should not be a problem. Question is more to do with:
1) how would I set up automation query
2) how would your company do something like this? Any recommendations?
Approach -
1) Step 1
- Automation rule for updation of estimation field when any subtask sees change in estimation field.
- Automation rule for slack/email notification as soon as story/task has workratio >-=80
2) We don't have any such requirement. Also, I am not sure how this alert would be used by the receiver.
