Integrated "Time Spent & Remaining Time" Estimation Field

By merging the two types of data — time spent and time remaining — your teams can continue using familiar tools while applying agile principles to track their performance. This blended approach can offer you a more nuanced view of team workflow close to Story Points, ensuring a smoother transition and more accurate forecasting.

You can select the "Time Spent & Remaining Time" field from the dropdown alongside other fields.
By default, the charts focus on the team’s productivity by counting Time Spent and Remaining Time for completed issues. In contrast, you can switch on the toggle to track the team’s efficiency and consider only the Time Spent.

Custom Done statuses

In case your workflow goes beyond the standard delivery process and you want to track the following:

  • Specific Done statuses (e.g., Ready for Release, Deployed, etc.)

  • Several Done status as a group

  • Any other status as a result of a sub-process

Note: By default, the chart calculates as completed all issues that have any status from the Done category.
