Hours estimate by Month

[Jimaline]

Hi,

Been checking whether Jira is capable of capturing data - Hours estimates per month.

Undestood that, time tracking  -  original estimates is a cumulative hours , but we require to break down to months.

Any workaround to do this?

thanks,

Hi @Jimaline welcome to the Atlassian Community!

The original estimate is the total amount of hours estimated for an issue, independent of the month. I don't see any use case where it would be relevant to break this down per month. You can however plan time (in Tempo f.e.) in hours on days which can be rolled-up by month.

The time spent is the actual which - of course - can be broken down per month.
