How can I track work progress in Jira?

You can monitor the progress of a team as they progress through a sprint to ensure that they’re on track using the Time tracking function. By tracking the team’s progress, you can then update the target end date set using the board estimation function as needed. What is estimation in Jira?

Time tracking information can then be funneled into one of several reports that are included with Jira, including a burndown or burnup chart. More about reports in Jira

Jira allows you to use different units of measurements to estimate tasks versus track work across boards. Teams in Jira commonly estimate work items in story points, then track progress on their board using hours. However, not all of these units are intended for both work item estimation and tracking.
