How do I get velocity to show Days and Hours?

[Shani Henry]

My company uses Days and Hours for estimates (eg 1hr). However, the velocity char always shows some astronomical number (ex. 13839). How do I get it to show Days and Hours too? Also what does the number that its currently showing indicate?

Hi @Shani Henry  -- Welcome to the Atlassian Community!

What type of project are you using, company-managed (classic) or team-managed (next-gen)?

And, would you please post an image of what you are seeing?  That may help provide context for the community to offer ideas.  Thanks!

Best regards,

Bill

Hey Bill,

I think we're using Team-Managed. See the screenshot below. This is taken from the Average Velocity report. I would like it to show as 20Days or 200hours worth of work which is how the company direct devs to enter their estimates.

Thanks for that information, Shani.  Time-based estimation is not yet available for team-managed projects.  Here is the suggestion to add that feature, which you may watch/vote for to check progress as they are building it now:
