Track the remaining time to certain date field in Jira and use it as an estimation accuracy criterion and as project planning supporting data.

Please check the configuration screen with ‘Remaining time to due date’ metric selection options.
The metric counts time only when the actual date is before the due date. In the example below it counts the difference in time between ‘Now’ (the current moment) and ‘Due date’.
