Implement a way to see the total number of points in the backlog!

    • Our product teams collect and evaluate feedback from a number of different sources. To learn more about how we use customer feedback in the planning process, check out our new feature policy.

      Please implement a way that I can see the total number of points in the backlog, or how many points are in a particular status. I currently use the Issues Navigator to export and use filters in Excel which is extremely primitive for such an expensive tool. I would also like to know if there is a dashboard feature / plugin which I can get a view on a particular project (preferably where I can select the 'fix versions' by filter as well) and have the following summary of the current situation:

      Points Issue Status

      60 Done
      16 In QA
      47 In Progress
      26 Blocked
      85 Not started

      234 Total points in backlog

      Please implement this as soon as possible because it's extremely difficult to track projects without this view!

            Honestly? More than 10 years? How hard can it be? What does this ticket in "Gathering Interest" state? How much interest you still have to gather?

            For every PO/PM this is vital information. How much "sprint ready" stuff do I have in my backlog(s)?

            If your code base is just slightly well structured, this should be 3-10 lines of code. This is the same functionality as yet available for each sprint view shown in the board's backlog view. ...available for years!

            We would still love to have this feature as it'd help greatly with introducing Story Point based estimations into a project.

            So, any updates on this issue (with 4 closed duplicates) from 2011? Maybe 5 more years for this "feature"?

            Agree! To see the amount of points in the Backlog would be great!

            This is desired for any user of Jira. Please implement so that it is possible to see the size of the backlog.

            In our project, we do also need an idea of the amount of work hanging around in the "Backlog". Currently we are using a greasemonkey extension to do this, but we would really like to see this as part of the product !

            Please, this! Right now, to do a backlog burndown is a very tedious thing.
