Jira time tracking
Most likely, the most common option to be used for a task progress is Jira time tracking.
...
| Info |
|---|
This common behavior can be overridden by applying the progress overrides. |
Use case #1. Your company doesn't set zero as remaining estimate on Done tasks, so Done tasks are shown with progress less than 100%.
Solution: add an override for status Done and set 100 as percent value. All tasks in status Done will have 100% regardless time spent.
...
In case a parent task has Manual mode, the progress override will apply to the parent task. Please see an example below.

Custom estimate field
Another option to be used for a task is progress is called Custom estimate field, and it comes handy in case a team s operating with such fields as Story point estimate or Story Points.
 |
When it comes to a task progress calculation, similarly, as with the option Time tracking, it can be calculated either by:
estimate
estimate and status
status
or, manual

|---|
The option Custom estimate field can be used even in case Jira time tracking is deactivated in Jira. |
