Estimate Time to Complete Task

Improved Resource Allocation: By allowing users to enter an estimated duration for each task, project managers can balance workloads across team members, avoid over- or under-utilization, and ensure deadlines are realistic.

More Accurate Sprint & Release Planning: With time estimates attached to tasks, you can sum total effort for a sprint or release cycle, forecast delivery dates more reliably, and adjust scope before work begins.

Better Prioritization & Trade-Off Analysis: When you know how long each task is likely to take, you can compare business value per hour, identify quick wins, and make informed decisions about which features to tackle first.

Performance Tracking & Continuous Improvement: Capturing both estimated and actual time spent allows teams to analyze estimation accuracy over time, identify bottlenecks, and refine future estimates—driving continuous process improvement.

Transparent Stakeholder Communication: Displaying task estimates in the UI gives stakeholders clear visibility into project timelines, reduces ad-hoc status requests, and builds confidence in the team’s delivery commitments.
