Showing time remaining or time spent

Plans show the progress that team members have made in completing their work items. You can configure a project area so that the plans show either the time remaining to complete work items or the time spent so far on work items.
About this task

Generally, teams that follow the scrum process use time remaining to specify how much time is left to complete the work item. If Time Remaining value is set, the time spent is derived out of it (time spent=original|corrected estimate - time remaining) to calculate the estimated time.

To configure work item progress:

  1. In the Team Artifacts view, right-click the project area and click Open. The project area opens in the editor.
  2. Click the Process Configuration tab.
  3. In the Project Configuration section, expand the Configuration Data and Planning nodes.
  4. Click the Work Item Progress Mode node.
  5. Select Time Spent or Time Remaining from the drop-down list.
  6. To save your change to the project area, click Save.
