In next gen (team managed) project, backlog does not show correct total of done points

[Bharat Bhatia]

In next gen (team managed) project, backlog does not show correct total of done points.

The number 0 should be 1 as story with 1 point is marked as "done".

See below screenshot

@Nic Brough -Adaptavist- any solution?

Is that story that is marked "done"

• At the issue/story level (it's not a sub-task of any type)
• In the very last column on the board

It needs to match those two rules for it to burn down.  If it does match those two, then we need to see more detail about where it is in the workflow and board etc.

I have the same problem for all my team-managed projects

[Nic Brough -Adaptavist-]

Ok, is the "done" issue/story in the last column, and not a sub-task?

[mgabarro]

Hi Nic, all the issues in the backlog are Task.

[Nic Brough -Adaptavist-]

Is task a sub-task type?

[mgabarro]

Only task, not sub-task type.

[Nic Brough -Adaptavist-]

Ok, so we'll need to see the list of issues in the sprint, only showing us the key (just so we can see it's one issue per line), the status and whatever you have selected for the estimation field, plus a shot of the header of the sprint where the numbers appear to be adding up wrong.

The other numbers don't add up either.  That makes me think you've selected a different estimation statistic for the board, it's not the one you're displaying.

[mgabarro]

I have looked for another backlog where the data can be seen more clearly

[Nic Brough -Adaptavist-]

That's the same.  It really does look like the estimation statistic you've chosen for the board is not what you've got in the issues.

[mgabarro]

That is the error. There are 8 tasks:
- Not Started: 7 Story Points 
- In progress: 4.5 Story Points (the correct value would be 2)
- Done: 0 Story Points (the correct value would be 2.5)

It is counting the story points "Done" as "In progress"

[Nic Brough -Adaptavist-]

Ah, I see, sorry, I mis-added up the numbers and didn't spot the "done" issues are being added to the in-progress count.

As the numbers are being added to the in-progress column, that suggests the five issues are not sub-tasks, which is one reason they wouldn't add up.

It only really leaves us with the possibility that the issues are not in the last column in the board, so they're not "done", despite what the status is called.
