Track completion progress
Problem
You want to track the overall completion progress in terms of hours spent vs. estimated for a time-boxed Jira project.
Solution
The solution runs the following steps:
When an issue is created or edited in the project, or a worklog is generated, the script below runs.
It sums all the estimated hours on all issues in the project, sums all the logged work hours on all issues in the project, calculates the project percentage complete (in terms of hours), and then adds a human-readable comment to a "master tracker" issue with the latest data.
e.g. "This project has *200h* estimated work with *120h* spent for a total of *80h* remaining. It is *60%* complete."
It can easily be modified to populate custom fields instead of generating a comment. This has now been reflected in the example script.
Prerequisites
You have Jira Core, Software, or Service Desk installed
You have Power Scripts™ for Jira installed
You have created four custom fields of type "interval" and mapped those custom field IDs to the following aliases in the sil.aliases file:
projectTotalTimeEstimatedprojectTotalWorkLoggedprojectTotalTimeRemainingprojectPercentComplete
Modifications Required
Modify the script to reference a single project to calculate totals
Modify the script to reference a single issue to append comments to
Configuration
Trigger this script on the following system events:
Issue Created
Issue Edited
Work Logged on Issue
Script
This script will run whenever an issue is created, updated, or work is logged on an issues in the applicable project.
It adds a comment to a specific issue to explain, in human readable terms, how many total hours are esimated and logged in the project, and gives a percentage complete value. One could mod the script to populate fields instead of adding a comment.
string projectInScope="SMSW"; // the project you want to sum up
string masterIssue="SMSW-23"; // issue where you want to capture this info
if(project==projectInScope) { // if invoked via listener, limit the scope
string jql="project="+projectInScope;
string [] allProjectIssues=selectIssues(jql);

sumTimeSpent += %issue%.timeSpent;

}
sumTimeRemaining = sumOriginalEstimate - sumTimeSpent;
hoursTimeSpent = sumTimeSpent;
hoursOriginalEstimate = sumOriginalEstimate;
completePercent = round((hoursTimeSpent/hoursOriginalEstimate)*100,0);
%masterIssue%.projectTotalTimeEstimated = sumOriginalEstimate;
%masterIssue%.projectTotalWorkLogged = sumTimeSpent;
%masterIssue%.projectTotalTimeRemaining = sumTimeRemaining;
%masterIssue%.projectPercentComplete = completePercent;
string commentTextA = "This project has *"+sumOriginalEstimate+"* estimated work";
string commentTextB = " with *"+sumTimeSpent+"* spent for a total of *";
string commentTextC = ""+sumTimeRemaining+"* remaining. ";
string commentTextD = "It is *"+completePercent+"%* complete. ";
string commentTextE = "This update brought to you changes made in "+key+".";
commentText = commentTextA + commentTextB + commentTextC + commentTextD + commentTextE;
addComment(masterIssue, currentUser(), commentText);
