RTC, Scrum and tasks : working hours in a day
![]()
Dear Forum,
I need to change the number of working hours in one day in RTC. Today, estimating 8 hours for a task item automatically changes the estimation to 1 day. But each member of my scrum considers that his effective working time is 5 hours a day (because of meetings, of unplanned tasks, of other impediments etc ...). So I have investigated in RTC in order to find a solution to change the correspondance between hours and day : I have found something : in the work environment tab, for a given user, we can change the worday length ; but changing this workday length has no impact when estimating a task : "8 hours" is still changed into one day. Do you know how to change the correspondance hours/days in RTC so that when estimating a task, 5 hours is changed in 1 day? Thanks a lot for your precious support, Best Regards, Mikal Donini. |

You could just set the option to display estimates as hours instead of having it convert to days. There's an option under Planning -> General. That way it doesn't matter what the hour->day conversion is.

You can specify the work time per day for project-wide settings of the work environment in the process spec for the project.
Project Configuration > Configuration Data > Planning > Work Environment The work environment setting in the User Editor is used to specify different settings per User. Thanks, Sharoon Planning Team -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Dear Forum, |

Sharoon's suggestion works perfectly. I created a task of 10 hours and it changed to "1d 2h". I then changed the Work Time per Day in the Planning -> Work Environment section of the Process Configuration, saved it and refreshed the plan. It changed to say "2 d". This is a Project Area setting so it will affect all teams in the project area. |
