Kanban boards don't support estimation out of the box and some configuration has to be done before using Agile Poker for JIRA Cloud. The required configuration includes:
- Choosing the field where estimations will be stored for each issues.
- Ensuring that selected field is visible on the JIRA edit issue screen.
Defining the estimation field
During poker session when all your team members agree on an issue estimate you usually want to save it somewhere. For JIRA scrum boards there is a special field for this purpose called Story points. Unfortunately kanban boards don't have such field out of the box so you have to define where issue estimates should be stored. In order to do that go to the /wiki/spaces/JPP/pages/148570536 and use the Estimation field dropdown.
You can also create a new custom field following instructions on this documentation page. If your custom field is not on the list of available options please ensure that it's on the view issue and edit issue screens for all issues on your board.
Showing estimation field on the edit issue screen
Due to way JIRA works internally the estimation field has to be visible on the edit issue screen for all estimated issues. Managing JIRA fields visibility is a tricky task but the following articles on JIRA documentation will be a good starting point:
You can omit this step if you don't want to save estimations during your poker sessions.
