Question

I looked to see if this was already asked. I found http://fogbugz.stackexchange.com/questions/1434/feature-request-include-user-estimated-time-remaining-in-the-burn-down-chart but wasn't quite what I wanted to ask and I didn't want to hijack that question.

• We have probability of completion for each user on a project.
• We have burn down charts that show the probability of the remaining hours on a project.

Can we get something that shows the probability of remaining hours per person on a project?

This would really help me. I'm already using the estimated time remaining of each user for various reasons, including forecasting the remaining cost of the project. It would be really valuable to use probability for this like we're doing for everything else with FB.

Answer 1

This sort of a report shouldn't be too hard to pull together. The core of it is already presented in the "Per-User Completion Dates" report. To convert to hours left at any given probability (in this case, 5, 25, 50, 75, and 95%), just take the number of hours that person works on the days from now until that date (base it on their schedule/holidays), and that will be the number of hours needed to complete it along with the corresponding probabilities.

I am sure the actual calculation under the hood is more complicated than that, but it would seem to me that a date in the future is pretty much the same as the number of hours needed to reach that date.
