Burndown chart - Remaining Time Estimate

[Phaneesh C Gopisetty]

Hi Team,

When setting the board to show remaining time estimates, are the Subtasks logged hours considered in the burndown report? How does the report change when changing the flag - "Include Sub Tasks" option?

I would love if you have a detailed explanation on how to read the burndown chart for Remaining Time Estimates view and Original Time Estimates view

Hi @Phaneesh C Gopisetty 

Try our Great Gadgets app. It includes sprint / release burndown chart gadgets that can calculate by time remaining  & time spent. Also, it offers an option to include subtasks.

Hello @Phaneesh C Gopisetty

Thank you for reaching out.

I'm afraid the Burndown chart of Jira application does not consider the Story points of sub-task issues in both Classic and Next-gen Projects. Since we understand this would be a useful feature to have, we created the following feature request with our development team to include sub-task estimation in the Burndown chart:

- Burndown chart doesn't take under consideration the sub-tasks estimation 

Feel free to vote and watch the suggestion to increase its priority and also receive notifications about any updates.

In fact, the estimation of sub-tasks are not considered in Jira reports and boards, so we recommend you to estimate all your work in standard-issue types. The reason behind this decision was explained by Shaun in the following question:
