How does Team Concert determine individual progress?
Hi there,
I'm seeing something interesting in the plan editor when grouping by owner. We work on three week sprints, thus 120h. There are three days completed in the sprint, thus 24h. So 96h remain in the sprint. I have people at three different extremes. User 1: Planned Work: 162h Completed Work: 28h Status: Green User 2: Planned Work: 48h Completed Work: 0h Status: -10h Red User 3: Planned Work: 88h Completed Work: 12h Status: -6h Red Why is it that the person that is the most overloaded is showing up as green and the other two are showing up red when they have less hours remaining than the # of hours remaining in the sprint? Regards, Steffan |

I'm seeing something interesting in the plan editor when grouping by Hi Steffan It's important to understand that load and progress are different. Let me explain how the progress numbers are computed first. (I assume that all users work 8h, 5days a week = 40h) Your three week sprint has 120 working hours and 24 hours are already completed. The total remaining working time is 80% (96/120=0.8). Now look at the users. Similar to the ratio above, we compute the ratio of work left and total work. In a second step we compare the work-ratio and the realtime-ratio. User 1: 134/162 = 0.82 ~0.8 -> 0.8 - 0.8 = 0 (On Track) (Bar will be green as both ratios (realtime/worktime) are equal) User 2: 48/48 = 1 -> 0.8 - 1 = -0.2 -> (Behind) Expected Work Done= (48 * 0.2) - 0 = 9.6 ~ 10 User 3: 76/88 = 0.86 ~0.9 -> 0.8 - 0.9 = -0.1 (Behind) Expected Work Done= (88 * 0.2) - 12 = 5.6 ~ 6 In short, the idea of progress computation is to compare the progress of real time with the progression of your work (resolving work items). In case of User 1, read this that he might bit a pessimistic when estimating. His estimates are high, but so is his fix rate. In contrast load is the comparison of how much work time do I have and how much work time do I have allocated. User 1 will be red when the load is shown. -- Cheers, Johannes Agile Planning Team |
