Description

This would give a number of benefits, and among them:

  • a (super)user that has the rights to change the priority of the tickets can rearrange them based on the time to handle them
  • a milestone could show an expected time to be completed as the sum of the time of each ticket

I would really like to see this feature implemented. But get it right. I think #7936 expressed the requirement better from my point of view. Just to point out a few things:

  • I prefer Story Points, or something that expresses complexity. It is better for planning: Often a release date is set and I have to choose which tickets to finish before that date. With a Story Point it is easier to estimate if the work set for a milestone is realistic.
  • In my case there is little room for negotiating release dates. The Story Points should show as a sum for a milestone, but I don't want the date to be calculated from this.
  • Progress should be calculated from Story Points. The progress bar now shows the same progress weather the ticket took an hour or a week to solve.
  • There is often confusion so to be clear: I do want estimation, I do not want time reporting. Estimation is good for planning, time reporting is just lame.

While #1942 is about 'time', this is one is about 'duration'. The storage would also be in usecs, but the display would be in day / hours / minutes, as appropriate.

Replying to cboos:

While #1942 is about 'time', this is one is about 'duration'. The storage would also be in usecs, but the display would be in day / hours / minutes, as appropriate.

Now, that we have 'date' and 'datetime', why not make 'duration' a third time field format? It might require more formatting options than current relative time formatting, but IMHO it nicely fits into the family.
