Tracking Time in a Specific Jira Status

📝 Context: In managing tasks within Jira, teams often need to track the time spent in specific statuses to optimize workflow efficiency. Accurate time tracking across various statuses—such as "To Do," "In Progress," and "Done"—is crucial for understanding bottlenecks and improving process management.

🤔 User Problem: Users need to determine which group statuses to configure in Jira to effectively track the time spent in a particular status. Without a clear approach, it can be challenging to identify where time is being spent or wasted, leading to inefficiencies in your workflow.

💡 Solution: To address this issue, follow these steps to configure status groups for time tracking:

  1. Add new status group

There are two ways to do this:

1 — The first method involves using the Configuration button. This approach is particularly useful for modifying existing Status groups.

To add a new statuses group, click Configuration

2 —The second way is to create group statuses on the grid.

Click on the Time Metrics button in the upper right corner of the table to configure the conditions necessary to calculate a particular time metric.

  1. Choose a “First transition to To Do“ as a Start timer and a “Last transition from To Do” as a Stop timer. Set all other statuses (In progress, On Hold, Done, In review, etc) as a Pause timer.
