Workload Pie Chart Report - Current Estimate

[Samantha Hope-Duignam]

Hi, 

I've scanned the community and documentation and can't find the definition of "Current Estimate" for the Workload Pie Chart report configuration.  Can someone share what "Current Estimate" represents? 

Thanks in advance!

Jira Software provides the flexibility to set your estimation and tracking statistics differently, depending on your team's needs. Time tracking features project schedule planning and time expectations management. Thanks to its reports, you can see the original and current time estimates for all the issues, and whether they are ahead or behind the original schedule.

Product teams often need to be able to estimate how long a product will take to deliver from sprint to sprint. As they work through the stories, the team will develop a cadence of completing <x> units of work they had estimated. This is also called velocity. The team has to track the amount of estimation units they've completed from sprint to sprint to know how much they can fit into each future sprint and be confident that all the work will be completed.
