    • We collect Jira feedback from various sources, and we evaluate what we've collected when planning our product roadmap. To understand how this piece of feedback will be reviewed, see our Implementation of New Features 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!

            We have just moved across some of our projects from Next-gen to Classic to take advantage of some other features. However it means we seem to have lost some as well. This includes the ability to see the total number of story points in our backlog. This really hinders my ability for planning and to see how much the backlog is growing or reducing. Agree with the above it would be a great addition. You are trying to sell people advanced features in Classic but missing out some of the simple ones.

            I would absolutely love to see this feature as i currently have a sprint created called "backlog" purely so i can see the points sum. with this approach i loose the ability to "send to the top" and "send to the bottom" of the backlog which is highly annoying! Is this a bug or a strategic omission? I'm using Jira cloud.

            Ok thanks.  We can't use Next-gen yet as there is still a subset of existing functions not in Next-Gen yet

            Trevor, yes exactly. In the "Next-gen project" there is now a backlog counter.

            Jonas what do you mean by New System?  Next Gen Project?

            If you use the new system for creating a project, there is actually now a counter in the backlog. Very handy!

            I really can't believe this has not been implemented yet.  Does no one try to predict release dates?

            As a scrum master, I need the backlog estimation total. The estimate total should update when filtered by Epic/Version or Quick Filters.
