## Description

**As** a agile project admin  
**I want to** select whether to select the unit in which effort, velocity and capacity is measured (story points, estimated time or none)  
**so that** it matches the style of agile work the team has

**Acceptance criteria**

*   Within the project settings, there is a setting for showing/hiding story points in the project.
    
    *   The settings are displayed in an extra tab.
        
    *   The setting allows to select the following units
        
        *   story points
            
        *   work time estimate (days and hours)
            
        *   none
            
    *   See figma for details
        
*   The unit chosen will have an effect on
    
    *   in "backlogs and sprints"
        
        *   The story cards will display either story points, work time estimate or no value at all
            
        *   The sum in the header will display either story points, work time estimate or no value at all
            
    *   in work packages belonging to the project the setting will have no effect. This was defined differently before.
        
    *   Widgets on the reporting page like burndown chart, velocity chart and "Work package overview"
        
        *   If "none" is chosen:
            
            *   The velocity chart and the burndown chart are not displayed
                
            *   The work packages widget displays only the number of work packages. The progress bar is based on the number of work packages.
                
        *   If "story points" is chosen:
            
            *   Work package tables have story points as a column
                
            *   The work packages widget displays story points in addition to the number of work packages. The progress bar is based on the sums of story points.
                
            *   Charts are based on story points.
                
        *   If "Work time estimate" is chosen:
            
            *   Work package tables have estimated time as a column
                
            *   The work packages widget displays estimated time in addition to the number of work packages. The progress bar is based on the sums of estimated time.
                
            *   Charts are based on estimated time.
                

**Out of scope**

*   Changes to the work package split/full view or the work package table depending on the setting.
    

**Permissions and visibility considerations**

*   The permission "**Select backlog types and statuses"** is renamed to "Manage backlogs configuration" with the caption:  
    "_Allows configuring the backlogs module including: choosing which work package types to hide from the backlog, defining which statuses represent a closed or finished state in the project's workflow and selecting the unit for velocity"_
    
*   The renamed permission is necessary to change the configuration defined in the AC
