This page is about Time to SLA for Jira Cloud. Using Jira ServerOn-Prem? Click the Server On-Prem button above.

On this page, you’ll learn what different calculation methods mean and which one might be the best for your use case. The calculation method you select impacts how Time to SLA will calculate the elapsed duration of your SLAs.

...

If you select this method, your SLA will only calculate the first cycle, which means you’ll never be able to restart the SLA afterward.

...

...

If you want to set up an SLA for First Response Time, you could use the First Cycle method.

2. Last Cycle – The Last Cycle method calculates only the last cycle between Open and Resolved statuses.

...

Moreover, this method displays the value of your SLA since the last Start condition was met. You can restart the SLA, but it will always display only the most recent cycle.

You can choose this method to keep the last comment’s time in the panel. This will tell you when the last comment was submitted and whether it aligned with your target date.

3. All Cycles – The All Cycles method will add up all cycles between Open and Resolved statuses.

...

This means that no matter how many statuses you change, your SLA will always pick up where it left off. It’s quite literally the sum of all cycles!

To give you a better idea, selecting All Cycles for your Time to Resolution SLA would be a logical decision since you'd want to know how many days it took you to solve the issue. The All Cycles method would track the time from the issue’s creation to when it was resolved.

4. Largest Span – The Largest Span method will calculate the elapsed time between the first Open and last Resolved status.

...

In a nutshell, this method takes into account all processes from the start of the SLA to the time it is resolved.

...

...

You may ask – How is this different from the All Cycles method? Well, unlike the All Cycles method, the Largest Span also includes intermediary statuses. In this case, these are the Resolved/Closed statuses.

And there you have it! When in doubt, always refer to our work process diagrams, as they can teach you how different methods work in the most concise and efficient way possible.
