I really don't understand how I can use capacity functionality in Advanced Roadmaps as when I'm testing it ...it works opposite to what is logical for me. Im trying a way to escape from BigPicture Resource Planning as we don't find it user friendly, but...
Example:
- We put estimate (Original estimate) on the task 10h
- Estimate is not visible on the Plans (Resource management) in the column Estimates (h)
- I book time 1h in Tempo on that task
- Estimates (h) field in Plans now started to display value = 9h (it took out 1h from Our Original Estimate and put 9h into Estimate field of Plans)
- Capacity in Plans now just sees you need to work 9h while your capacity 100% is still full not affected by the fact I already used up 1h during that week. Only estimate decreased when you log time.
For me this behavior doesn't make sense.
I would expect that when I log time...my capacity decreases and not estimate Decreases to actually increase my capacity!!!
What Im doing wrong?
I would like to do following thing:
- put estimate on the task and display it in the Plans (ie. Original estimate field but can be something else) - estimate that wouldn't change automatically when I log time spent
- see what is remaining estimate after booking time in Tempo = Original estimate - time spent
- team capacity to be impacted the way, that estimated time is decreasing total Capacity
Thanks for your advice,
Anita
