Timesheet Widget Include Time Estimated

If you group by list then by task it shows the time estimated as well as the time tracked for each task

Jaimie Rodd: Hi Jaimie, you can see the time estimated but what it shows is not all the time estimated, you can only see the time estimated for tasks that has time tracked. I think this is the problem...

Timesheet widget show time estimate for all tasks in a list

It would be helpful to see all of the estimated time in the time estimate widget. Right now in the Dashboard, you can only see time estimates for a task that has time tracked against it already and requires multiple widgets to see all of the time estimates. See a video below for more details on the ask:

Reporting: Time Estimated vs. Time Tracked

We would like to be able to export a report for tasks completed within a timeframe that shows our time estimated vs. time actually tracked. Right now we can only see if our estimates are accurate by clicking into every individual task. It would be great to have a CSV export comparing the data.

Comparing initial timelines with final ones and be able to see the dates deviation on a project
Lucía
Hello! Picture this: My team and I start planning a timeline for a project. Each task has dependencies and a fixed date. While we are working, some of these dates change and automatically the dependencies on a delayed task auto-adjust, and we like that. But when we finish working on the project, we like to do a post-mortem reunion and see which tasks got delayed and why. That's why we would love to be able to compare the initial date and lenght of a task (when we created it) and the actual one (when we close it). I hope you consider it, thank you for reading!

Actually, I thought this feature would be the point of any PM tool. I am really surprised that this is still missing.
Hakan Köse
Exactly. It would be great to see how many estimated time hours left against tracked time for a list, folder or workspace, not for individual tasks. Percentages for the remaining time estimates would also be really helpful from a reporting perspective. Unfortunately, right now we have to do these calculations manually for the reporting.

To jump in on this comment! We use the Harvest integration to track time within each task, and also manually input a time est at the beginning of each task. I would love to be able to create a custom field for Time Est - Time Tracked (to get a value for "Est Time Remaining"). I tried to do this with a formula, but it wouldn't let me pull in the data from either field. Is there another way to do this?

Hey Rachel! Does the 'time estimated' report not work for this?
Valerie Treacy
Zeb: Hi Zeb! Yes and no. We are trying to compare a few different metrics that the Time Estimated report doesn't help as much with.
- We work in 1-week sprints, so it would be great to be able to set a time period and see how much work is allocated to each individual per sprint, to see if we are underassigning/overassigning tasks.
- We are also trying to track if our time estimations at the project/task level are accurate, so it would be great if this report could be sorted by project/task, rather than individual.
- This is just a bit of a random question, but is there a reason that the report exports spit out time in milliseconds instead of decimal hours? We run all our reports in decimal hours so they are easier to sum totals for, but I must first convert the number in "task time estimated" from the export into a usable decimal by dividing it by 3.6 million. The "task time text" field isn't helpful because you cannot sum a text column in excel.

Valerie Treacy: Hey Rachel! Thanks for the info.
- How are you organizing your sprints right now? Do you use Lists or Custom fields or how is that done?
- Yeah that wold definitely be helpful, I'll get that in the pipeline for our Dashboards feature.
- Honestly, not much of a reason other than that's how we preserve them on the backend. I think it would be easy to add a column for a "Pretty hours" format though. I'll create a task for it!

Zeb: Hey Zeb!
- We primarily use lists to organize our sprints. We really like ClickUp's board view to manage our workflow. So every Monday, we organize the week's new work into a Weekly Sprint list, and then our team moves each assigned project through every status of the workflow until it's complete. We haven't really dabbled/researched much into Custom Fields, so if there are other ways to do this better, we are open to suggestions!
- Awesome, thank you!
- Good to know - thanks again!

Valerie Treacy: Hey Rachel!
Lists work fine, if they work for you then I would stick with it.
To be clear though, if you use a List as a sprint, then why wouldn't the time estimated report work if you just filtered for that one list? Since your List already is a period of time, do you need to filter by a period of time? Or are you looking to filter the time tracking entires by a period of time?
Btw, 2.0 should have some better features for managing resources (you can add calculations on list views and also Box views). I added you in case you want to try it out https://docs.clickup.com/en/articles/3005140-guide-to-switching-to-2-0

Zeb: Hey Zeb! Now that we've been chatting through this and some of my questions, I think the time estimated report does get us most of the way there. But yes to your second question - we are looking to filter the time tracking entries by a period of time. Ideally if we assigned a project on a Monday for a sprint, it would be done by Friday and we could easily see it. But sometimes things get put on hold or stuck in a status on the workflow (such as client review) for multiple weeks at a time, and we wouldn't want to keep accounting for them in an employee's assigned time when trying to allocate additional projects, if that makes sense.
Thanks for adding me to 2.0! I'm excited to check it out!
Zeb
Valerie Treacy: Got it! We'll add filtering by period of time with our Dashboards feature (next version of reporting) coming in the next couple of months. Thanks for your help!
