Study Notes

Configuring Project Estimates

  • Board configuration allows setting issue estimation units (story points, time), and progress tracking methods.
  • Configuration differs for company-managed and team-managed projects.
  • Company-managed project configuration is restricted to company-managed Scrum teams.
  • Access configuration by selecting "More" in the upper right corner of the board, then "Configure board."
  • Select "Estimation" from the left-side menu.
  • Adjust estimation settings (e.g., estimation methods).
  • Estimation method dropdown controls how issues are estimated on the board.
  • Enable time tracking to track progress differently, often alongside estimations.
  • "None" tracking uses the defined estimation method for progress.
  • "Remaining estimate and time spent" tracks progress by deducting logged time from the original estimate.
  • For "Remaining estimate and time spent" option, logging time to issues is required.
