The estimate field is a number field that provides some sort of estimate of the amount of work on the issue. This will be converted to days of work using the Confidence, Sprint Length, Velocity per Sprint, and Tracks fields.

...

  1. Story points median

  2. Story points

Confidence Field

The confidence field adjusts the estimate using a log-normal distribution. Learn more about this here.

Defaults to the following fields if they exist:

  1. Story points confidence

  2. Confidence

How many “estimate units” are completed by the whole team every sprint.

Sprint Length

How many days each sprint takes.

Tracks

On average, how many parallel issues of this type the team will work on at once.
