Are there plugins that can provide this functionality now?  ALM Works Structure just showed this feature for their upcoming release, but I'm guessing that is a way off.... 

Jira is great when management isn't interested in having a high degree of confidence that the team will deliver a set of functionality on a given date.  However, there are many projects and programs where we have a business reason and IT mandate for delivering set scope by a set date and we need more predictive capability than is currently available in JIRA.  EBS would be game changing - it's what keeps FogBugz on the radar as a likely alternative in the event we miss one-too-many dates without enough notification or preemptive action.

+1 on this feature. Any news about it? Last comment is 2y old

i think this would be a real differentiator for Jira Agile and would attract customers. i believe alot of the kanban tools will implement this in near future. i hope we can see this in jira agile!

Hi folks,

Thought some of you may be interested in this video that explores quantitative methods and monte carlo simulations: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w4fHGTsZZD8

+1 This is a great feature.

One story that would help alleviate this pain in the short term is GHS-7988.

+1 would love to see this in GreenHopper.

I'm bit confused here. Is this feature part of the new Jira or not then? I did a few quick searches and there seems to be a plugin. Does that only work with JIRA 6? Will there possibly be any videos done on that? I'd love to see how that works and if it is worth spending the time to installing or upgrading if necessary.
