How it's work

Jira Agile Worklog Helper utilizes issue labels for time tracking.

Three labels are used:

• jwh:in-work to mark issue in progress by at least one person;
• jwh:<your-username-here>:in-work to track down which issues currently in progress;
• jwh:<your-username-here>:<timestamp> to track amount of time spent;
