Hi @Madhuri Latha Bhumireddy ,

To track the difference between planned and actual estimates of a user in Jira Cloud, you can use the time tracking and reporting features available in Jira. Here are some steps you can follow:
Enable Time Tracking: Ensure that time tracking is enabled for your Jira project. Jira admins can enable or disable time tracking for the entire Jira site. If you don’t see the time tracking field in your project, contact your Jira admin for help

Log Time on Issues: You can log time on issues to track the actual time spent by a user on each issue. To log time, select the issue and click on the "Log Time" button. Enter the time spent and any comments, then click "Log" to save the time entry

Use Reports: To report on the time spent by a user on each issue, you can use built-in reports or third-party apps available on the Atlassian Marketplace. For example, the Timesheet report provides visibility into the total time spent by users on each issue

Compare Planned and Actual Estimates: To compare the planned and actual estimates of a user, you can use the Work Ratio field in Jira. The Work Ratio field shows what percentage of the original estimate has been consumed by time spent. A Work Ratio over 100% indicates that more time was logged than in the original estimate

For More details please refer the following Kb articles

By following these, you can effectively track the difference between planned and actual estimates of a user in Jira Cloud.
