Using Affinity/Relative Estimation for Jira

APP LAYOUT

The app starts with a screen divided into two sections - an unestimated backlog column and swimlanes for estimated backlog and sprints with columns for each story point used. All story points used in all future, active and last 5 sprints are automatically added. A story points column can also be added by clicking the "Add Story Points columns" button.

BACKLOG AND SPRINT SWIMLANES

On the right, a separate swimlane for estimated backlog and sprint is displayed for a quick overview of estimated issues to set the estimation baseline.

Drag and drop unestimated issues next to estimated issues of similar sizing for a quick estimation.

APPLYING THE CHANGES

Once the estimation is complete, the changes can be reviewed and applied by clicking the "Apply changes" button.
