In a scrum board sometimes it is important to identify how much time an issue stays in a particular status. For exampe if an issue has been moved from “TO DO” to “In Progress” and there for a ling time. The management or Scrum Master/Product Owner wants to know how many days that issue is there in “In Progress” status.
How to do the same in Jira Board?
Follow the below steps:
You need to have Jira Administrator access.
Open scrum board. Board > Configure and enable the “Days in Column” under Column side menu bar.
Note: For a large Jira instance more than 300 K issues, 100+ projects, 100+ boards, or 100+ open sprints it is recommend not to enable this in order to degrade the Jira performance.
