Original estimate as a Timeline bar

Question

We have some Issues where we set already the numbers for the "Original estimate" field. Now we would like to visualize those estimates in the Timeline feature. Not the Roadmap.

How can we manage that the "Original estimate" number will define the lenght of the bar in timeline?

Hi @Stephan Schweizer

I'm Nataliya from ActivityTimeline team. If you will consider an add-on ActivityTimeline could fits your request.

ActivityTimeline provide a resource planning and availability on a timeline view. You can set original estimate, track tasks progress on timeline dashboard, timesheets or reports, track workload and availability for each employee taking into consideration the part-time, full time or holidays.

If you have any additional questions please feel free to ask me. We can provide a demo session for you if needed. 
Best, Nataliya

Hi @Stephan Schweizer

If you consider using the additional plugin, then have a look at BigPicture/BigGantt, because this PPM app provides the solution you are looking for. Suppose you prefer to base scheduling on an estimated time and resource availability. In that case, you can choose the option when the Original Estimate field value determines taskbar duration (another time estimate option like Time spent + Remaining estimated is also available).

Please tag me in case of any further questions.
