We use JIRA for S/W projects and thinking of using JIRA for map production. We need to track performance of staff not by time spent only, but number of digitized polygons by each digitizing person. Currently we track this all on spreadsheets - Excels, Word, paper, it's not very efficient and takes much time and efforts to maintain sheets and generate staff productivity reports.
We want to record work log something like this -
| User |
Date/Time |
Time worked |
Polygons |

In addition to work log, would be good to have custom to Estimate work in polygons used in conjunction with the work log - automatic subtraction of number of processed polygons from original estimate.

Custom fields in worklog for calculating not time spent only, but produced result
At the moment there are no plans for this type of work.
One way to go about this at the moment, is to make users mention the number of polygons in the description of the worklog. Then create a JIRA report:
http://confluence.atlassian.com/display/JIRA/How+to+create+a+JIRA+Report
that would parse the information out. I know that this is not ideal.
The other way is to customise JIRA's source. We do have Atlassian partners that specialise in this.
