Overview

The Time Tracking report can be used by teams to track the distribution of Original Estimate, Remaining Estimate, and Time Spent across multiple projects, helping to gain a high-level overview of spent time and compare it with planned work.

This report may be of interest to any team that works on projects, tracks their time in Jira, and uses the time tracking feature in Jira. The report uses the standard Original Estimate, Remaining Estimate, and Time Spent fields to build a visualization and provide valuable insights.

The default report configuration is available when you create a new Time Tracking report. All you need to do to get a report is to select the scope for which the report will be built. At the same time, the default configuration can be changed at any time, so feel free to change the order of the content, add new values or change representation (chart) type.
