Time registration instead of story points in next gen projects?

[Gysbert]

Dear community, 

We are trying to fill our sprints with issues based on planned work duration. However, it seems that in next-gen projects, this data cannot be summed to view the total assigned time. Also, it seems impossible to have a quick overview of the remaining hours of work per sprint or make reports with this metric.

Is there a reason this feature is missing? How do you use the time logging functionality if there is no easy way to keep oversight on the time spent?

Any help is welcome :) Thanks!

Hi @Gysbert ,

When you say "next-gen projects", are you referring to next-gen Jira Software projects?

If so, you're right that time tracking functionality is quite limited. For now, if you do need more thorough time tracking capabilities, the only thing I can suggest is to use Jira Software's classic projects instead.

Thank you. Do you know if time tracking capabilities will be implemented in the future?

Hi @Gysbert - As far as I know, time tracking capabilities are on the team's radar, but I can't confirm that they're working on anything specific in this area. 

You can check out what's being worked on for next-gen at the Jira Software Cloud public roadmap.
