Is it possible to have the time estimates on Stories rollup to their Epic?

Question

Has Jira implemented time estimate rollup to Epics? I have several Epics that I need to see time estimates. However, I have to see the time estimate on the Story and add these together. This seems like a lot of manual work when I should be able to see the remaining time on an Epic. If it is possible on Stories for their subtasks, it should be possible for Epics and their Stories.

Alternatively, I'm aware of application which does this, it is called

EpicTime for Jira - SumUp of Worklogs & Timesheets

Hi @Jason Chayer

If you are fine with a mktplace app, to get this data, you can try out our plugin and see the time estimates and story points roll up at each hierarchy level

Agile Tools : Epic Tree, Links Tree, Time in Status & Worklogs

Hi @Jason Chayer

if you're open to solutions from the Atlassian Marketplace, here's another app that you might like: JXL for Jira.

Disclaimer: I work on JXL.

JXL is a full-fledged spreadsheet/table view for your issues that allows viewing, inline-editing, sorting and filtering by all your issue fields. It also comes with support for issue hierarchies and sum-ups (among many other things), meaning that you can easily roll up your estimates. This happens live within the app, so no scripting whatsoever is required.

This is how it looks in action:

You can configure the sum-up style, so you could easily display it e.g. as a progress bar.

Best,

Hannes

Thanks everyone for the suggestions. I will look at each application and see if any of them satisfy what we need.
