Calculate total time spent on a ticket from Created to Resolved

[John Scott]

I am hoping there is a simple way to calculate the time between when a ticket was created to when it was closed or resolved?  We have the default SLA's set which show if the resolution was within the SLA or not, but I would like to see total time as well

Hey @John Scott ,

From my understanding of your use case, you should be able to calculate the time between a created ticket and a closed ticket by using the control chart provided by Atlassian.

If this doesn't help you, you should try the addon Time in status for Jira Cloud

Let me know if this helps you with your question.

Best,

Armand

Hi @John Scott 

For your issue, it will be helpful to find a lead time. Check out the following article:

3 tools to analyze Cycle and Lead Time in the Jira

I can suggest trying the Time in Status for Jira Cloud add-on developed by my SaaSJet team.

Get all Jira time spent reports in One Place

Monitor the team performance and overall project efficiency: how long it takes an assignee to complete a task where a process blockage exists when an assignee started the work what the time spent on all issues for a specific project is when tasks were turned to completion.

Visualize Data for Quick Analysis

Discover trends, risks, KPI stats, and opportunities with Time in Status graphical view. It’s a rapid way to keep your team informed. 3 types of charts are available: Pie, Bar, and Area chart. Charts for one issue.

Analyze Stronger with a Flexible Pivot Setup

Create customizable time reports for Jira with Pivot table view Set any combination of issue attributes. Get data in numerical or % perspective. Use Min/Max, Average, Median, Count, Sum math functions

I am available if necessary and will be happy to answer any questions you may have.

Hello @John Scott 

To the list of solutions mentioned before, you can consider other:

Time between Statuses allows creating a timer to calculate the time between a ticket was in Waiting for support status for the first time and when it has gone to "Resolved" status for last time. In such way, you can get the time ticket was resolved.

With SLA Time and Report you can use the "Issue created" condition as a start timer, and status "Resolved" as a stop timer. So here an "Issue Created" feature gives the ability to track time right after the issue is created and isn't in a particular status yet.

These 2 add-ons have been developed by my SaaSJet team. So if you need more detailed info, I'm glad to help you.

Hope you find it helpful

Hi @John Scott

If you want to do it for free, use Jira automation with the use of smart values and functions.  Use the following video tutorial: https://youtu.be/S2ary5YG-7w

This is exactly what I needed, thank you.

Hi @John Scott ,

A lot of great options have already been suggested by others. Suppose your Jira site already has eazyBI installed, or you want to give it a spin. In that case, you can list total or average resolution days for individual issues or a specific set of them.

You can find an example for the latter on the eazyBI Demo account - https://eazybi.com/accounts/1000/cubes/Issues/reports/97436-issue-resolution-days-lead-time.

The JSM specific Demo account can be of interest to you as well - https://eazybi.com/accounts/1001/dashboards/8347-sla-overview. The eazyBI reports and dashboards you see in the Demo account can be transferred to your eazyBI in a few clicks.

Hi @John Scott

I guess you are trying to get a report of lead time. If so, you can have a look at the article below that includes details on how to get various lead time reports. Hope it helps.

Hi @John Scott 

If you are ok with a marketplace app to get this data you can try out our app.

The add-on provides the time in each status for the entire lifecycle of the issue and you can filter by issue type as well. You can also combine your statuses to define your lead/cycle/resolution time and also extract the transitions history of the issues. The main features of the app are as below

Also there is a report for the dates when issue transitioned from one status to another.

• Multiple Time in Status Reports. Excel Export available for all status reports.
  
  • Time in Status

Disclaimer: I work for RVS, the vendor for this app, and I am one of the developers of the app.

This is definitely a cool app but it might be over kill for what I am trying to do which is just calculate the sum of time it took to work on a ticket from when it was opened to closed.  I also might not be using the app properly because I can't seem to figure that out

[Emre Toptancı [OBSS]]

Hello @John Scott ,

If you have Jira Software, the Control Chart that is available as part of Kanban boards might help you. It doesn't show individual issues and has limited flexibility but paints a good overall picture.

If you want more details and flexibility, our team at OBSS built Time in Status app for this exact need. It is available for Jira Server, Cloud, and Data Center. 

Time in Status allows you to see how much time each issue spent on each status and on each assignee. 

       

The app has Consolidated Columns feature. This feature allows you to combine the duration for multiple statuses into a single column and exclude unwanted ones. It is the most flexible way to get any measurement you might want. Measurements like Issue Age, Cycle Time, Lead Time, Resolution Time etc.

For all numeric report types, you can calculate averages and sums of those durations grouped by the issue fields you select. For example total in-progress time per customer (organization) or average resolution time per week, month, issuetype, request type, etc. The ability to group by parts of dates (year, month, week, day, hour) is particularly useful here since it allows you to compare different time periods or see the trend.

The app calculates its reports using already existing Jira issue histories so when you install the app, you don't need to add anything to your issue workflows and you can get reports on your past issues as well. It supports both Company Managed and Team Managed projects.

Time in Status reports can be accessed through its own reporting page, dashboard gadgets, and issue view screen tabs. All these options can provide both calculated data tables and charts.

And the app has a REST API so you can get the reports from Jira UI or via REST.

  

Using Time in Status you can:

• See how much time each issue spent on each status, assignee, user group and also see dates of status transitions.
• Calculate averages and sums of those durations grouped by issue fields you select. (For example, see average InProgress time per project and per issue type.)
• Export your data as XLS, XLSX, or CSV.
• Access data via REST API. (for integrations)
• Visualize data with various chart types.
• See Time in Status reports on Jira Dashboard gadgets
