Agile Estimate for Jira Data Center
About Agile Estimate add-on
Comparing size visually always works much better than just seeing pure numbers. Currently in JIRA Software the sprint backlog estimation process works like this:
- Scrum Master clicks on a Story
- Then it is become possible to put an estimation
- Then Team can see estimated part backlog as numbers
In Agile Estimate add-on we've tried to improve the way how teams work with sprint backlog estimation.

Admin's Guide
Scrum boards
Users can start using Agile Estimate add-on with Scrum boards immediately after add-on installation without any additional configuration.
Kanban boards
Kanban boards require "Time tracking" issue field on Edit issue screens for projects which are part of a Kanban board.
When user changes time estimate of an issue on a Kanban board JIRA assumes/requires that "Original estimate" field can be edited via JIRA edit issue screen too. That's why you need to check if "Time tracking" field is part of Edit Issue screen.
If "Time Tracking" field is absent on "Edit Issue" screen then user will see an error message "Error updating issue estimate":
How to add "Time tracking" field to a screen
The easiest way to update your project edit issue screens is via "Project settings" → "Screens" tab:
Click on a screen for "Edit issue" and add "Time tracking" field to a screen if it is not yet there:
You should add "Time tracking" field to all issue types if they have different Issue Type Screen Schemes
Changing estimates on Kanban board should now work fine:
User's Guide
Agile Estimate add-on shows a selected sprint backlog in dialog where all sprint backlog items have estimation slider.

All estimations are visually represented in the estimation bar so that users have visual representation of the estimation size and can compare backlog stories with each other and adjust them easily.
