[feedback] "Remaining hours" vs "estimated time"; %done

Added by Iancul 1981 almost 11 years ago

Hi,

I am trying to explore openproject and have found that “Remaining hours” is pretty much exactly the same thing as “Estimated time” in a work package.

If I log time on a work package I would expect that the remaining ours field would change automatically or at least that I would have a field at my disposal to update it (like in redmine when logging time on an issue). However, the only way I have found to update the remaining ours is by updating the work package. It seems kinda cumbersome to me personally.

Is it by design or am I missing something?

Also, it would be nice if there was some way of linking the %done field with the estimated time and the time logged fields so that it is calculated automatically.

Here is an example of what I mean:

I create a new work package, with an estimate time of 10 hours. I log 5 hours on this package and based on these two details, remaining hours is calculated to 5 hours and done is automatically calculated to 50.

Thank you,
Iancu

Hello,

Also, it would be nice if there was some way of linking the %done field with the estimated time and the time logged
fields so that it is calculated automatically.

I am also interested in this matter.

Can anyone comment on this please ?

Many thanks.

Hi there,

I was also wondering, whether this functionality is planned or already implemented but somehow hidden. It is a simple automatism that would save the users a lot of effort.

Thanks.

Hello everyone,

this feature has not been implemented yet.
There is however a feature request covering the relationship between the estimated time, logged time and % done in the Wish List:

Feel free to check whether this meets your requirements and add any additional suggestions as comment (e.g. regarding the remaining hours).

Best regards,
Robin
