change original estimate to remaining time- backlog

[fariba_peyhani]

All calculations on the backlog page are based on the original estimate. How can I change this to be based on remaining time? Also, velocity is showing based on the original estimate—how can I change it to be based on remaining time?

Hi @fariba_peyhani 

you can configure estimation to show remaining time instead of original estimate.

• Go to your board settings:
  • Click on the board name in the top left.
  • Select “Board settings”.
• Click on "Estimation" in the left menu.
• Change Estimation Type:
  • Choose between:
    • Story points
    • Original Time Estimate
    • Remaining Time Estimate
• Select "Remaining Time Estimate"
• Save Changes

Jira will calculate sprint capacity and progress using Remaining Time instead

Hope this helps

Hello!

Unfortunately, there is no such option as "Remaining Time Estimate". The only options we see are
- Story points
- Original time estimate
- Issue count

This means we have no actual way to effectively estimate and plan a sprint due to items carried over from one sprint to another reporting its entire original estimate.
