"Story Points", "story point estimate" field and board based on a filter

Laurent Mundeleer March 9, 2020

Hello,

I'm struggling for a few weeks with this issue now, so I come here for an advice.

The structure is the following : 

we have several projects, and because we wanted to handle a common Sprint on them I made a custom filter taking these projects' tasks, and build on a board on it (read this somewhere on the forum).

Now we work only based on this "unified" board to handle the backlog and create the Sprints. It's working well, I can filter the project I want to see, etc

The only issue we encounter is that we cannot have a proper Sprint report.

Indeed, the Sprint Burndown chart says there is no points estimated. We can show the burndown for "Story points" or issue count. But for story points it's a flat line.

While on the backlog view, I can see the story points estimation value, for the field "story point estimate", for each task.

It seems there is both a notion of "Story Points" (the one expected on the report) and "Story points estimate" (the one on the stories) and I cannot find a way to solve this.

I have the same issue when I create a Sprint, it's not summing up the story points and says the Sprint has 0 points.

 

Any idea?

 

Thanks

Just a thought - as I stumbled over a similar issue:
Are you using Next-gen boards?


It seems that Nextgen boards use the "Story point estimate" field while classic boards use the "Story Points" field - and can not even select the other as alternative - which makes cross project boards and reporting almost useless

See here:

https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/JSWCLOUD-17173

And I started a discussion about it:

Yes indeed, we use next-gen boards.

We should have a way to map both metrics together.

Hi @Laurent Mundeleer ,

Welcome to Community !

Can you go to board > Click on ... > Board Settings > Click on Estimation and check whether you have added story points as your estimation statistic or not.

Yes Story Points is already selected. I have the same list as you have.
