Re-estimate origin time for carry over not finished issues from previous sprint

[ejecek]

We are using hour estimation for our tasks. Normally at beginning of sprint we putting original estimate and remaining estimate for new stories (those values are equal for new stories). During sprint we are logging work and remaining estimates going down. 

At that point everything is fine in sprint report. There is original estimation, remaining and worked time. So we checking if [remaining + worked < original].

At end of sprint some of task are not completed and we moving them to next sprint.
We are updating remaining estimates. 

And here we have an issue with sprint report. Report will show original estimation which we put during issue creation. So now [remaining + worked < original] doesn't makes sense. Since original will be value which we expect at beginning of previous sprint. 

My question is:
1. Should I update both original and remaining estimate values for incomplete tasks which I moved from previous sprint

2. If answer for point 1. is 'Yes' then, what I will see on report from previous sprint? It will have original estimation which I set at beginning of previous sprint, or latest value for this issue. Ideally I would want to see original estimation independently.

Thanks for help,

Hello Ejecek,

Yes, have to update both Original and Remaining Estimate values, to address the issue briefed above.

Earlier Sprint Report will show the Original Estimate value as of when that respective Sprint was closed and Sprint Report even shows if Original Estimate value is modified during the sprint . Hence it works as you anticipated.
