(Click to enlarge) | The Agile Planning Popup is integrated on the JIRA Agile Board and can be accessed where you need it during sprint planning, dailies or sprint review meetings. 1: Open the popup in menu 'Agile Planning' and 'show aggregation'. 2: You can select different view modes: - Parent Issues only: Estimations of Backlog entries will be summed up (like in JIRA standard).
- Sub Tasks first: Estimations of sub tasks will be summed up, if they exist. Otherwise the estimation of the parent issues will be added. (Default)
- Sub Tasks only: Estimations of sub tasks will be summed up, if they exist. Estimations on parent issue level will be ignored at all with this method.
- Both: Estimations of the parent issue AND the subtasks are summed up.
 Check out example below!
3: Aggregation mode is by task now. You can toggle between by task and by assignee. 4: Select the sprint, you would like to see. Default is the currently active sprint. |

(Click to enlarge) | Let's find out what the view mode is all about by this example for the different methods:
- Parent Issues only: Result is 1 week as just estimation of parent issue (Backlog entry) is estimated.
- Sub Tasks first: Result is 1 week 3 days as subtasks exists for this parent issue, so subtasks will be summed up and parent estimation is ignored.
- Sub Tasks only: Result is 1 week 3 days as only subtasks are summed up.
- Both: Result is 2 week 3 days as estimations of the parent issue AND the subtasks are summed up.

(Click to enlarge) | Let's have a closer look at the columns for the issue based list. - Icon: Represents the type of the issue. If the ticket contains sub-tasks the icon for sub-tasks is shown for each view mode to highlight that they exist.
- Name: A link represents the parent issue.
- Issues: Counts the relevant tickets that are summed up accorfing to the selected view mode.
1 parent and 2 sub-tasks for 'sub-task first' view mode count is 2. For view mode 'parent issues only' count is 1. - Orig. estimate: Shows the original estimate summed up according to the selected view mode.
- Rem. estimate: Shows the remaining estimate summed up according to the selected view mode.
- Logged work: Sums up the logged work time of the issues according to the selected view mode.
- Difference: Shows deviations - difference = orig. estimate - rem. estimate - logged work
Check out example below!
