My story points doubled in Jira Product Discovery

[Kristen Stephens]

I have an automation rule that rolls story points up to the parent. This is extremely useful because Jira doesn't do this out of the box. However, in Jira Product Discovery, the tool is taking the points from the epic AND adding all of the individual points so my story points doubled in the delivery status and delivery progress fields which results in inaccurate report. How can I make it do one or the other.

Hi @Kristen Stephens -- Welcome to the Atlassian Community!

For a question like this, context is important for the community to help.  Please post the following:

• an image of your complete automation rule in a single image for continuity
• images of any relevant actions / conditions / branches
• an image of the audit log details showing the rule execution
• explain what is not working as expected and why you believe that to be the case

Until we see those...

Where in Jira Product Discovery (JPD) are you seeing the sum doubled: a custom field you added, the built-in Story Points field, or somewhere else?

I wonder if there is either there is another rule which is summing to the Epic from the children, but your current rule is repeating that by including the Epic and children in the total.

Kind regards,
Bill

That’s an interesting observation! It really highlights how improving clarity in task definitions and prioritization can drastically change the way story points are estimated. Jira Product Discovery has definitely made it easier to align teams around shared goals and track meaningful progress. Thanks for sharing this very relatable for anyone managing fast-moving projects.
