For some projects we manually tack % complete or Story Points as custom fields (or Jira Syncs) and it would be helpful in the goal progress tracking if we could also designate a custom field as the metric to determine completeness so that I do not need to manually update the tasks each time in the manual mode we can just track in our custom fields. There are a few use cases here used by different teams.
Scenario One: Tracking a tasks progress as a %, so say Task A is 50% complete. We could still evenly weight the tasks so that they sum the percentage of this custom field to get the % complete, so if Task B is 0% complete the overall goal is 25% complete. This could get more dynamic as well, we could add an additional criterion for effort etc…
Scenario Two: Let’s consider story points. Task A is 50% complete and is 8 SP. Task B is 0% complete and its 5 story points. If these are my only two tasks for a goal progress then my total Story Points is 13 and I have completed 4, so our % complete is ~30%.
