This is the second planning level. Similar to the project level, you can either decide to set a "generic" value or to take the plan values from all issues of this component. If you did not define components for your project in JIRA, ictime will automatically display a component "Without Component".
Click "Update" if you have made changes.
| Tip |
|---|
If you have already done a detailed planning on issue level, you should always decide to use the sum of all issue plan values as total component plan value. If you are in the very beginning of your planning on issue level, it might make more sense to set a "generic" value which in fact will be something like an "educated guess" about your component time budget. When you feel that your planning on issue level is getting better, you will decide to switch. For details, refer to Planning Concept. |

When clicking on a component, you get access to all issues of that component and can plan time on these issues. This way, you can plan time (make "work estimates") for all issues in one place.

Please note that - contrary to normal JIRA behaviour - in this interface, you can also plan time on issues that have already been closed. This is basically intended to allow for "ex-post" planning. |
