Softgile is proud to unveil SumoTime, a powerful Jira Cloud plugin now available on the Atlassian Marketplace. SumoTime revolutionizes time tracking by automatically aggregating worklogs from child issues and rolling them up to parent tasks in real-time. This seamless integration ensures accurate and up-to-date time data without manual effort.

What is SumoTime?

SumoTime is designed to simplify time tracking in Jira Cloud. It automatically calculates the total time spent and estimated across all child issues, including sub-tasks, bugs, support tickets, stories, epics, and projects. These totals are instantly reflected in the parent issue’s time fields, providing a comprehensive view of the effort invested across your project’s hierarchy.
