Board settings (DC)

The following Agile Poker settings can be configured in the Jira Software board configuration. These settings are shared between all sessions on the board.

• Estimation statistic – Either select one of the existing fields or create a new custom field. If your custom field is not on the list of available options for Estimation field please ensure that:

  • it's a numerical field - fields of other types are not supported,

  • it's on the View issue screen for all issues on your board.

• Estimate values – list of estimate values available for session participants. You can modify available values and their order.

In Jira, you can't store an alpha character in the Story Point field. If you use T-shirt sizes for estimation, you need to map them to numerical values. To establish the mapping, use the = character to separate the label (visible to the participants) from the numerical value (stored into Jira).

Open

• Auto show estimates – If checked, estimates will be revealed automatically after the last participant chooses an estimate (applies only to Interactive sessions).

To modify these options, follow these steps:

1. Open the Board dropdown on Jira Software.

2. Click the Configure link.

   Open

   

3. On the board configuration screen, go to the Estimation tab. Agile Poker settings are shown at the bottom of this page.

In addition, you have the option to select the fields that will be visible throughout the asynchronous estimation session.
