Change how work is estimated in your plan
This page refers to the advanced planning features that are only available as part of Jira Cloud Premium and Enterprise.
You can choose whether your plan estimates work items using:
hours
days
story points
Story points can only be selected if all teams in your plan are scrum teams. If your plan includes a kanban team, the option for story points won’t appear. What are story points?
Story points and time-based estimates (hours and days) are not interchangeable. Changing from one to the other erases any unsaved work item estimations.
To change the estimation units in your plan:
Next to your plan’s name in the sidebar, select More actions (•••), then Plan settings.
On the Estimation and scheduling page, select whether you’d like your plan to be estimated in Hours, Days, or Story Points.
