After all team members agree on an issue estimate, you usually want to have the agreed value saved in some Jira custom field (we call it the estimation field).
In Agile Poker for Jira Cloud for Team-managed projects, you can save estimates to available time fields or to any numeric field, including the Story point estimate field.
Configuring Story point estimate numeric field
The default "Story point estimate" field is recommended in order for you to see your estimates on the board. This field, unlike other Team-managed projects' numeric custom fields, is shared between all the Team-managed projects.
To configure Agile Poker to use the default field follow these two simple steps:
- Enable the "Estimation" feature in Project Settings (Project settings → Features → Estimation), make sure Story Points field is selected
By default, this action will enable the Story point estimate field in the Context fields settings in (Project settings →
to - Select "Story point estimate" field as Estimation Field in Session Configuration (Estimation → Join Session → Session → Configure → Session Settings → Estimation Field):
If, for some reason, you'd like to use some other field for saving your estimates just add a number field to the issue type via Project settings → Issue Types and set that field as the "Estimation field" like in step 2 above.
