Jira Agile - Epic time tracking

[Peter Van de Voorde]

Hi Zubo,

I'm confused about what you are saying, in JIRA Agile you can still use Tasks and sub-tasks just like in JIRA. An Epic is a collection of Tasks (or Stories) which is at a higher level.

You could take a look at the Epic reports underneath the report mode of JIRA Agile to see if that report gives you the information you need.

Best regards,

Peter

Thanks for answer. Task/subtask concept not work in Jira Agile the way which I expect(I can not plan subtasks in agile rapid board - but this is not big problem to switch to epic/task concept).
I looked at report which you suggested - it is usefull but not for this concrete task. I need the fast way to know how many hours we spended at particular epic - this is sum of logged hours at issues under the epic(when I have tasks as epics and subtasks as stories I have sum of logged work available on task all the time - it is very comfortable).

Hi Zubo,

JIRA Agile considers sub-tasks to be a integral part of a Story, so it wouldn't make sense to schedule some sub-tasks of a story behind sub-tasks of other stories. If you did it like that your stories wouldn't be finished.

If you use sub tasks in Stories you'll still get the nice Time Tracking (including sub tasks) that you used to have.

Best regards,

Peter
