Scrum counter

A Chrome extension with a convenient story points counter for Jira tasks grouped by developers. Helps with sprint planning. Allows counting story points written in any format within task titles added to the planned sprint.

The extension is safe, makes no external network requests, and doesn't modify Jira page content.

Features

• Realtime storypoints counting, no need to open storypoints popup;
• Launches only on allowed domains when clicking the icon;
• Displays counter breakdown by developers;
• Shows developer avatars and names;
• Shows total story points per developer;
• Color-coded indicators for exceeding story point limits;
• Specialization breakdown:
  • Parses story points specializations form task titles using provided regex with named capture groups;
  • Displays story points by specialization for each developer;
  • Warns when mixing story points from different specializations by provided rules;

Installation and Build

Clone the repository, then run in the repo directory:

npm i
npm run build

Configuration

Override necessary variables in .env and/or .env.local (included in .gitignore):

• VITE_JIRA_HOST (default example.com) - your Jira domain;
• VITE_JIRA_TASK_IGNORE_TYPES (default Retro AI,Sprint Goal) - comma-separated Jira task types to exclude from counting;
• VITE_JIRA_SP_NORMAL (default 11) - story points threshold below which counter appears gray;
• VITE_JIRA_SP_TOO_MUCH (default 14) - story points threshold below which counter appears green;
• VITE_JIRA_SP_WAY_TOO_MUCH (default 17) - story points threshold below which counter appears orange, above - red;

If you intersted in additional specialization breakdown for you tasks and you ready to title them using specific pattern:

• VITE_JIRA_SP_REGEXP (example ^\s*\[\s*(?<be>\d+)\D+(?<fe>\d+)\D+(?<qa>\d+)\s*\], empty by default) - regex pattern for parsing story points in Jira task titles. Each named group represents a specialization (e.g., backend, frontend, quality etc.). Example regex expects titles like [1/2/3] Great jira task where 1 is backend points (group be), 2 is frontend points (group fe) and 3 is quality assurance points (group qa). If sum of specialized points doesn't match total, warning appears. Leave empty to disable;
• VITE_JIRA_SP_MIXINS (example qa|fe,be, empty by default) - list of allowed specialization combinations for one teammate (comma-separated without spaces, combinations separated by |). Example allows fe+be (title patterns like [1/2/0], [1/0/0] or [0/2/0]) but prohibits qa+fe or qa+be (title patterns like [1/2/3], [1/0/3] or [0/2/3]). Leave empty to disable;

After configuration changes, run npm run build and reinstall the extension.
