Matthew Hunter added a comment - 05/Jan/2023 7:53 AM Atlassian Update - January 5, 2023 Hi everyone, Thank you for bringing this suggestion to our attention. As explained in our new feature policy , there are many factors that influence our product roadmaps and determine the features we implement. When making decisions about what to prioritize and work on, we combine your feedback and suggestions with insights from our support teams, product analytics, research findings, and more. This information, combined with our medium- and long-term product and platform vision, determines what we implement and its priority order. Unfortunately, as a result of inactivity (no votes or comments for an extended period of time), this suggestion didn’t make it to the roadmap and we are closing it. While this issue has been closed, our Product Managers continue to look at requests in https://jira.atlassian.com as they develop their roadmap, including closed ones. In addition, if you feel like this suggestion is still important to your team please let us know by commenting on this ticket. Thank you again for providing valuable feedback to our team!

I've heard several teams look at their history and find that over the course of the project, their estimates from using story points are no more accurate than if they had simply counted how many stories were in each iteration. Given that, the effort of calculating story points isn't worth doing. https://martinfowler.com/bliki/StoryCounting.html
