I'd like to get JIRA epics to aggregate subordinate story/task estimates in hours/days/weeks (not in story points). So that when viewing an epic I can see what's its total estiamte, remaining and actual in hours/days/weeks, and also so I can see the epic burndown in hours/days/weeks.
I can get stories and tasks to aggregate subtask times, but I can get this to work at epic level, is there a way to achieve this ?
Thanks!
The following is really only helpful for reporting, but at least it gives an overall view of an epic and the time remaining.
Working with support from Arsenale Dataplane, we are now able to view a report that includes epics, the stories in those epics, and the subtasks for those stories. Though we are using Dataplane (a paid addon), the scheme for setting up a scripted field that can be used to "segment by" epics is still useful without it.
How Dataplane solved the problem for me:
import com.atlassian.jira.component.ComponentAccessor; import com.atlassian.jira.issue.CustomFieldManager; import com.atlassian.jira.issue.fields.CustomField; import com.atlassian.jira.issue.Issue; CustomFieldManager fieldManager = ComponentAccessor.getCustomFieldManager(); CustomField epicLinkField = fieldManager.getCustomFieldObjectByName("Epic Link"); CustomField epicNameField = fieldManager.getCustomFieldObjectByName("Epic Name"); if (issue.isSubTask()) { issue = issue.getParentObject(); } Issue epicIssue = (issue.getIssueTypeObject().getName().equals("Epic")) ? issue : issue.getCustomFieldValue(epicLinkField); return (epicIssue != null ? epicIssue.getCustomFieldValue(epicNameField) : null);
