Jira Cloud: How to view total points per selected assignee in Sprint in Backlog view?

Keith Steward

In a previous company that I think was using Jira Server, I used to be able to see total points for a selected assignee. I'm now using Jira Cloud but don't seem to have that ability. I have entered story points for Jira issues and assigned them to assignees, but in the Backlog board with the being-planned sprint up at the top, clicking on any assignee's icon (avatar) fails to show total story points for the sprint.

How can I enable this in Jira Cloud?

Thanks

You're right, Jira Server had some features (often through plugins) that aren't directly replicated in Jira Cloud. The ability to click on an assignee's avatar and see the total story points for that sprint was likely one of those. Unfortunately, there's no equivalent native setting in Jira Cloud to enable that specific functionality.
The best approaches in Jira Cloud are:
* Sprint Report: This is the closest built-in feature. While it's not a click on the avatar, it does give you the total points per assignee within the context of the active sprint. It's the most direct and recommended approach.
* JQL and Export: You can create a JQL query like this (adjusting the sprint name):
sprint = "Your Sprint Name" AND assignee = "Assignee Name"

Then, export the results to CSV. In a spreadsheet program, you can easily sum the story points column for each assignee. This is a bit more manual but works

You can't directly see the total story points per assignee within the Backlog view in Jira Cloud. The Backlog view is primarily designed for planning and prioritizing, not detailed reporting. While you can see story points for individual issues, it doesn't aggregate them by assignee in that view.

Unfortunately, there isn't any out of the box solution given by JIRA Cloud.

You can go this article for more details.

* Mentions the specific feature of clicking on an assignee's avatar to see total story points.

* Confirms that this functionality is not available in Jira Cloud.

Hi @Keith Steward ,

You can find it here

Best regards,

this is different than what Jira Cloud is showing: no ... visible after the members. And see the comments below about how the feature is missing from Jira Cloud.

@Keith Steward ,

Sorry, I don't understand. Didn't you want to see the total story points per assignee in Jira Cloud?

Best regards,
Alexey

I do want to see the total story points per assignee, but what I see in my Jira Cloud does not match what your image shows, i.e. no triple-dots visible, and no way to pop up the workload by assignee. See the comments below by others indicating this feature does not exit. But thanks for offering to help.
