It is still the same capable app with the same dedicated team behind it. The answer below mentions the app as "[Time in Status](https://marketplace.atlassian.com/apps/1211756/time-in-status?hosting=cloud&tab=overview&utm_source=community&utm_medium=answer)" but you can find the app in the marketplace as "[Timepiece (formerly Time in Status)](https://marketplace.atlassian.com/apps/1211756/time-in-status?hosting=cloud&tab=overview&utm_source=community&utm_medium=answer)".

Hello [@Bruno Xavier](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/5273213) ,

There is no built in solution in Jira for this. So in order to track the time spent on each status I suggest you use a marketplace app. [Time in Status](https://marketplace.atlassian.com/apps/1211756/time-in-status?hosting=cloud&tab=overview&utm_source=community&utm_medium=answer) which is developed by my team at OBSS, has a report type that will meet your need. Our app is available for both Jira Cloud, and Data Center.

Time in Status mainly allows you to see how much time each issue spent on each **status** or each **assignee** .

**Status Duration** report (please see the screenshot above) which shows how much time each issue spent on each status. You can combine the time for multiple statuses to get metrics like **Issue Age, Cycle Time, Lead Time, Resolution Time** etc. ![Status Duration Report in Detail.png](https://community.atlassian.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/313491i412755624E431CFB/image-dimensions/538x277?v=v2 "Status Duration Report in Detail.png")

For all numeric report types, you can calculate **averages** and **sums** of those durations grouped by the issue fields you select. For example total in-progress time per *customer*or average resolution time per sprint, week, month, issuetype, request type, etc. The ability to group by parts of dates (year, month, week, day, hour) or sprints is particularly useful here since it allows you to compare different time periods or see the trend.

The app calculates its reports using already existing Jira issue histories so when you install the app, you don't need to add anything to your issue workflows and you can get reports on your past issues as well.

Time in Status reports can be accessed through **its own reporting page, dashboard gadgets, and issue view screen tabs** . All these options can provide both calculated data tables and charts. And the app has a **REST****API** so you can get the reports from Jira UI or via REST. Also you can export the reports in to various formats easily.

Visit [Time in Status](https://marketplace.atlassian.com/apps/1211756/time-in-status?hosting=cloud&tab=overview&utm_source=community&utm_medium=answer) to explore how our JIRA add-on can revolutionize your metrics measurement process. Enjoy **a 30-day free trial** to experience the full range of features.

If you wish, you can also [schedule a live demo.](https://calendar.app.google/faQYgsEekRdFxnPj7) We will provide a comprehensive overview of the application and address any inquiries you may have.

Hope it helps,

Gizem

This is not possible with native features. If you are open to try out a mktplace app to get this data, you can take a look at   

[Time in Status Reports](https://marketplace.atlassian.com/apps/1226187/time-in-status-reports?hosting=cloud&tab=overview)

The time in status report shows the time spent by your issues in each status during the entire workflow.

The app has 20+ reports to track your bottleneck Issues \& Processes.

There is no built-in solution for time in status info in Jira. If you prefer using a marketplace app, you can try [Status Time Reports](https://marketplace.atlassian.com/1221826) app developed by our team. It mainly provides reports and gadgets based on how much time passed in each status.  

Here is the [online demo link](http://status-time.bloompeak.io/demo), you can see it in action and try without installing the app. For your case, you can have a look at [Time in Status for Each Issue](https://bloompeak.atlassian.net/plugins/servlet/ac/io.bloompeak.status-time/st-report?ac.reportid=11) report.

For further details, you can have a look at [Status Time Reports How to Videos.](https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLVHoaAkoFPJnG9nLkzcxG0P00ndQgimDs)

* This app has a dynamic status grouping feature so that you can generate various valuable reports as**time in status, time in assignee, status entry dates and status counts, cycle time and lead time, resolution time, average/sum reports by any field(e.g. average in progress time by project, average cycle time by issue creation month)**.

* You can search issues by Project, Issue Type, Status, Assignee, Issue Creation/Resolution Date(and any other Date field) and JQL Query.
* Status durations are calculated according to the working calendar you define. Once you enter your working calendar into the app, it takes your working schedule into account too. That is, "In Progress" time of an issue opened on Friday at 5 PM and closed on Monday at 9 AM, will be a few hours rather than 3 days.
* You can set different duration formats.
* You can export reports in CSV file format and open them in MS Excel.
* You can also add this app as a gadget to your Jira dashboards and reach "Status Time" from Issue Detail page.
* You can enable/disable access to Status Time reports\&gadgets and Issue Detail page per project, users, groups or project role.

If you are looking for a completely **free** solution, you can try the limited version [Status Time Reports Free](https://marketplace.atlassian.com/apps/1222051).

Hope it helps.
