Spent time as % done

Added by David Brandt about 11 years ago

Hi

Is it somehow possible to make logged time set percentage done on a issue?

I was looking for the same thing just some hours ago, but I didn't find anything.
On a second thought, that is allright, imagine the following scenario:
You estimate that an issue will take 10 hours.
You work 5h and register the time spent.
You realize that it'll take another 10 hours instead of the 5h remaining.
In this case, the % done should be manually set to 33% instead of being calculated to 50% based on the estimated time...

Hi again Jan :)

I see your point, but..

Wouldent it be nice to see the 5 hours make the % done go to 50, if the issue is set to 10 hours!
If I realise the issue takes longer, eg 15 hours, why not adjust the hours set on the issue?
Actually I wouldn't mind a situation where an issue is 150% done. I would quite fast realise that I had made a bad plan!
I think it's more triviel to have to set the % done every time I was working on an issue!

I'm an architect, maybe I use it in an other way then intented!

Oh, it certainly would, at least for me :-)

Yes, that could be done, and I wouldn't mind such a solution.

Thinking of that... Why, not, yes... More than 100% done would quickly point out estimate failures, you're right.

No, i don't think so...
