Time tracking in Big Picture - how to tell who has and has not submitted their time tracking

[amy.richards]

Hi, 

We have recently started using the big picture plug on to Jira for forecasting effort and confirming time through the 'original estimate' and 'time tracking' fields. 

My question - Is there a way to easily view number of hours that have been 'tracked' by team members for a particular period? 

Ideally, I am looking to get a report that I can view weekly to confirm time has been tracked/confirmed for team members for the week prior. 

Any suggestions would be most appreciated!

Hi @amy.richards

Is your staff adding hours in each task? If so, you could use the "resources" tab in BigPicture and see if that displays what you need it to display. 

Hope that helps.

Hi @amy.richards

The Resources module provides all crucial information to manage resources both at project and portfolio levels but also can give an insight into resource utilization on a PI/Sprint level. 

You can adjust the view and track data on daily/weekly or monthly aggregation. See my image as a reference. 

You can display capacity, remaining capacity, and allocation both on the individual and Team level, which allows precise analysis of the consumption of currently utilized resources and forecasted availability. Data are color-coded what helps in the quick identification of both overallocation and under- allocation.

I will gladly answer your more specific questions.

Hi Anna, 

Thanks so much for your reply. I am familiar with the resources view and have been using this to view future forecasted capacity, workload and remaining capacity.

What i'm not clear on though, is how can I look backwards to review how many hours have been logged/confirmed per individual - for example, if i wanted to review how many hours an individual had logged for the week prior? Is there a way to view the sum of all time logged per individual?

Thanks for your help!!

Hi @amy.richards

Currently, there is no possibility to calculate the exact sum of logged work in a defined period of time. However, we are aware that this functionality is very useful for our clients, and it’s already on our Roadmap.

You can follow work progress in the feature request ticket: ONE-16229. Please note that it is best to open it in the incognito tab of your browser.

However, if you want to see an overall number of logged work per Assignee, please add the "Spent time " column to your Gantt's Column View and choose aggregation type "Sum without a parent." Subsequently, add grouping by Assignee. See my image as a reference.

Please be noted that in the 8.2 BigPicture version we will implement the functionality of additional filtering (Time range - ONE-35063) when the grouping is on, which will allow narrowing down the period for which the sum of logged work is being aggregated.

Hi @Anna-BigPicture 

Any chance you could share new links to feature requests? These are not valid anymore.

Also, are there any updates on logged time to be visible on Resource module?

Cheers,
Tom
