Sum Story Points to Epic

[Bryan Riley]

Is there any way to get the story points summarized into a custom field and applied to the Epic that they are attached to? For example...

I have epic TEST-1

Stories TEST-2 and TEST-3 each are assigned to epic TEST-1, and each have 7 points assigned to them.

When I view TEST-1, I'd like to have a custom field that shows me there are 14 points within that Epic.

I've found a simple workaround for this on Jira Cloud. Simply filter your epic in the backlog and you will get category totals.

[Lauren Pennisi]

How does this idea work, Isaiah?

[Mats]

If you go to the backlog, and select an epic, the total sum of story points for the epic in each sprint or backlog is shown in the grey/blue/green circles.

Boo, it's so much easier to do on Pivotal.

[B.J. Dekkers]

In  Portfolio you can show the total of underlying story point (improved interface). Remember to select the option "Show rolled-up values" under View settings

[Steffen Stamprath]

I think the plugin "Epic Sum Up" is exactly what you need!

Can we get the Epic Sum up field in the issue navigator to get excel report?

[Alex Fairweather]

Can be done in Jira Server, but you need to have the Dataplane reporting module added to Jira: 

Create a Dataplane report:   Sum Numeric Field

Choose

• Value Of:  Story Points
• Segment by: Epic Link
• horizontal bar chart

Save the Dataplane Report

Then to publish in a Confluence Page, Edit a Conf Page: click:

• +(insert more content)
• Other macros
• External content
• Arsenale Dataplane report
• Choose your Saved Dataplane report name

@Alex Fairweather this is awesome. how to get the  Dataplane reporting module added to Jira? We are using Jira server version 9.4.14.

Hi Bryan,

A bit late, but I have a solution for this on Jira Cloud.

I created a plugin called Agile Docs which displays the total number of story points in each Epic.

As an added bonus, you can interact with your project in a tree view like a google doc.

Hope that helps!

@Rhys Diab _Agile Docs_ - Any chance this will be made available for Jira Server?

[Rhys Diab _Agile Docs_]

Possibly, but Atlassian is really pushing their cloud products at the moment so I wanted to concentrate on cloud for the time being. I'll build a server version if there's enough demand.

[Jun Li]

we would like it to be on data center

[Alex Fairweather]

Hey Rhys.  This would be a fabulous feature on Jira server!

Hi @mbroughton-ph 

You might want to try out the server addon we have built just of this purpose.

Agile Tools - Epic Tree and issue Tracker 

It will provide you the below features

• Sum up your Epic's Time Spent, Original Estimate, Time Remaining, and Percent Complete
• Display and manage Sprint/Epics/Issues of your project
• Edit Issue summary, time estimates, story points and assignee on the tree with real time updates in the progress
• Rolled up percentage completion and at issue level as well

[Sheik Mubarak]

@Rahul_RVS_Support does this support Jira Server version 9.4.14?

[Rahul_RVS_Support]

Hi @Sheik Mubarak 

We will be releasing a new compatible version in a day or two

 Thanks,

RVS Support

This would go well with this request:

Hello Briley,

I believe that you can use the "Calculated Number Field" of JIRA Misc Custom Fields Plugin. Please find on the link below more details about the usage of it:

https://studio.plugins.atlassian.com/wiki/display/JMCF/Home#Home-calculatednumberfield

And the link for downloading the plugin: https://marketplace.atlassian.com/plugins/com.innovalog.jmcf.jira-misc-custom-fields

Cheers!

[Bryan Riley]

This was my original thought - however from what I understand if we're using the Epic/Theme field to put the Epic key in (instead of actually linking the Epics to stories) this may not work.

Are you aware of a formula that I could use where the Epic/Theme field can be used? For example, if stories TEST-2 and TEST-3 were both flagged with 'TEST-1' in the Epic/Theme field.

[Max Kloosterman]

Anyone any idea on the formula you would need to write for summing story points of user stories to the calculated number field for an epic? and is it possible to then use that field in a dashboard in Confluence?

[Jeremy Brooks]

This plugin is no longer supported for JIRA cloud, does anyone know of an alternative?
