Track progress using work item count in your plan
This page refers to the advanced planning features that are only available as part of Jira Cloud Premium and Enterprise.
The Progress (work item count) function tracks how a work item is progressing based the statuses of the work items directly beneath it. This method of tracking progress doesn’t take into account any lower hierarchy levels. For example, if you have a level 2 hierarchy level called Initiative that sits above a level 1 called Epic, the progress bar on the Initiative reflects the progress of the Epics beneath it but not any work items nested within those Epics. This is different from how your tracks progress using estimates.
The bar in this column shows the following statuses from right to left:
To do
In Progress
Done
This breakdown of work displays the number of work items in each status category against the total number of work items in the plan. The estimates for each work item are not included since this column only covers work item count.
To get a more detailed breakdown, hover on the progress bar to show a flyout window.
You can also track progress from the Summary tab on the left side navigation. Find out more about the Summary page.
