Time in Status Lite for Jira — User guide
Issue panel
Open any issue. The Time in Status panel lists every status the issue has been in:
- Time in status — total time spent there (summed if the issue returned to the status).
- % — share of the issue's total age.
- Entered — how many times the issue entered the status.
- First entered / Last left — timestamps in the project's time zone. The current status shows "now".
- Total age — from creation until now.
- Cycle time — shown once the project has cycle-time statuses configured and the issue has reached an end status.
If the panel is hidden, click Apps in the issue view.
Report (project page)
Project → Time in Status tab.
- Enter JQL (default: all issues in the project, newest first) and click Run.
- The table shows each issue's time in every status, with an Average row (averages count only issues that reached the status).
- Export CSV shows the report as CSV text (hours with two decimals). Copy it into a file named
report.csv.
Limits: 500 issues per report. Narrow the JQL (for example resolved >= -30d) for large projects.
Settings (project settings)
Project settings → Time in Status.
- Count business hours only — switch from 24/7 to working time. Set the time zone, work start/end and working days. Times then show as hours (e.g.
27h 15m). - Cycle time — pick start statuses (default: issue creation) and end statuses. Cycle time runs from the first entry into a start status to the first entry into an end status after it.
Settings apply to the issue panel and the report for that project only.
How time is calculated
- The issue's first status is the one its first status change left; the first interval starts at creation.
- The current status counts until now.
- Business hours: only time inside the configured window on working days counts. Daylight-saving changes are handled.
Permissions
The app reads Jira as you. It never shows issues you cannot see, and it stores only the settings above.
