Description

Range Estimate for Jira gives you a possibility to expand an original estimate with a pessimistic one, create an estimation range and monitor the progress of issues by matching the estimation values with the time reports.

Goal

Jira as an agile tool works with uncertainty. Our add-on aims to boost the functionality of an issue estimation. The app targets to increase the flexibility of time evaluation in the uncertain environment and add a real-time perspective to the issue progress in correspondence with the set estimation range. The add-on also can assist in evaluating your team performance in terms of compliance of time estimations and worklogs.

Solution

Jira users can add a pessimistic estimate to an issue with the help of this app. In combination with the original estimate, two estimation values create an estimation range which is visualized on the issue view panel. The app highlights with colors how the reported time correlates the time plans on the same panel. JQL functions are available to filter the issues by estimation parameters. A configuration of dashboard gadgets for these JQL function may help to automate issue tracking and simplify monitoring of the issue progress.
