What is Issue count?

Issue count divides the total number of issues in your sprint between those that have been complete, those that are in progress, and how many remain to be done. By only tracking the number of issues, it disregards any issue estimates and assumes that they’re all weighted the same. When you’re tracking the progress of a project using this, you won’t be able to set estimates on your issues. The Estimate field on issues will be greyed out and uneditable.

Issue count is only used to track progress of work on a board. Learn how to configure time tracking in Jira.
