Story Progress (Hours) is only summing some of the Task's estimate but not all

Hi Guys,

I am using RTC 4.0.0.1. 

Recently I have created a Sprint Backlog, with Task assigned to a story as child work items. However when I try looking at the "Progress" of my User Story, it is only summing the Estimate of some Task. But not all....this is very strange.

On the web console, there is even a little "!" icon that when I mouse over it, it says: The progress for this work item is computed using the following work items:
Task 1: XXX
Task 2: XXX

Where Task 1, 2 are just some of the child task items.

Have anyone experienced this before? Appreciate if anyone can help :(

Jason,

can you please specify the type of work item listed as source of progress calculation vs. the type(s) of other work items? Can you discern any criteria of difference, e.g. filed against or planned for fields?

 Hi Arne,


I have Story as Parent: and Task as Work Items (Only Task)
- Story 1
--Task1
--Task2
--Task3

The filed against is the same for all Task, but different from the Story
The Story is Filed Against "Folder1"
The Task are Filed Against "Folder1/Task"

However I have another Team in the same Project Area that have the same configuration that is showing correct numbers, so I don't think the different in "Filed Against" should make a different.

Last but not least...I am only seeing this strange behaviour on Web, if I look at it with RTC Client (v3.0.1) The numbers are fine. 

Therefore I wonder what is the logic behind the web version with "The progress for this work item is computed using the following work items".

The behavior around story/child task workitems are a concerned in a couple of versions and we do see different defects in either Eclipse client or Web client not showing correct progress/load info. Hence it is not strange that could be a product defect although I don't see the issue in my test in a higher version 401.
Based on the previous experience, you may want to check with
1) whether some child task workitems are in completion state ?(comparing to other team which does not have the same issue)
2) whether the task workitem have the [Planned for] attribute set to the Plan's iteration(or some tasks are not set to the same iteration as the others)?
