Hello all,
please consider the following scenario:
* Task A
** Task B
This task requires 3 full days @ 8 h each day.
:PROPERTIES:
:Effort: ????
:END:
How would I estimate the effort for task B? Set it to 24:00? That's
unhandy if you have something like the following in your .emacs:
;; global Effort estimate values
(setq org-global-properties (quote (("Effort_ALL" . "0:05 0:15 0:30 1:00 1:30 2:00 2:30 3:00 3:30 4:00 4:30 5:00 5:30 6:00 6:30 7:00 7:30 8:00"))))
The other option would be to break up task B in 3 subtasks like this:
* Task A
** Task B
This is now just a container task
*** Task B1
:PROPERTIES:
:Effort: 8:00
:END:
*** Task B2
:PROPERTIES:
:Effort: 8:00
:END:
*** Task B3
:PROPERTIES:
:Effort: 8:00
:END:
What do the org-mode experts consider to be the best solution to
estimating the efforts of multi-day tasks?
Any input is appreciated.
Thanks and Cheers
Markus
