What it does
Estimate Gaps for Jira in practice.
Find missing Original Estimates in the Jira hierarchy you can see.
Clear scan status
See a clear incomplete or unavailable state when the panel cannot safely finish a scan.
Refresh after an edit
Refresh after Jira indexes your edit to check that the item has left the gap list.
The workflow
Fix a missing estimate, then refresh the list.
Estimate Gaps works inside a Jira issue. It reads the hierarchy visible to the current viewer and lists items missing an Original Estimate. It never edits Jira or saves gap rows or hierarchy data.
Open a parent issue
Expand Estimate Gaps in the Jira issue details area.
Edit the missing estimate
Open the gap in a new tab and update Original Estimate using normal Jira permissions.
Refresh the panel
After Jira indexes the edit, refresh to check that the item has left the list. If the scan cannot finish safely, the panel shows an incomplete or unavailable state instead.
Visible work
Go straight to the gaps.
See a focused repair list built from the part of the hierarchy you can access. The previews use example data, not a customer project.
- See visible, estimated, and missing counts with a rounded estimate percentage.
- Distinguish direct children from deeper visible items.
- Open each gap in a new tab and keep the parent issue ready for Refresh.
After the edit
Refresh when Jira has indexed the estimate.
Estimate Gaps reads the hierarchy again. When Jira returns the updated estimate, the repaired item disappears from the gap list.
- The app never edits Original Estimate for you.
- Refresh replaces the previous completed result.
- A completed result with no gaps means Jira returned no visible missing estimates.
Safe result boundary
Partial results never look complete.
If Jira cannot return enough information for a safe result, Estimate Gaps shows no rows and tells you that the scan is incomplete.
- The panel shows a gap only when it can trace the item back through parents you can see.
- Permission changes and scan limits produce a clear state instead of a partial list.
- Refresh starts a new read and clears the previous result while it runs.
FAQ
Common questions about Estimate Gaps for Jira.
What does Estimate Gaps show?
It lists items missing an Original Estimate when Jira can trace each item back to the issue you opened through work you can see. A completed result also shows visible descendant, estimated, and missing counts, plus a rounded estimate percentage. A zero estimate is valid and is not a gap.
What happens after I edit an estimate?
Open the gap in a new tab and update Original Estimate in Jira. After Jira indexes the change, return to the parent and select Refresh. Jira indexing and your access still determine the next result.
Why is the panel incomplete or unavailable?
The panel shows no list when Jira cannot provide a complete, safe view of the hierarchy. This can happen when access changes, a response is incomplete, the hierarchy exceeds the app's limits, or the check takes too long.
Does Estimate Gaps write Jira fields or keep a hierarchy database?
No. It can read Jira data for the issue you open, but it does not change Jira or save issue details, gap rows, or hierarchy data. The data-practices page covers retention for earlier development releases.
Is Estimate Gaps publicly installable today?
Not yet. This page is a product preview, not an installation offer. Public installation and trials will open only after a safe release is accepted for Marketplace distribution.
