I deal with this by inserting a table in the subtree main task with the current snapshot of estimates. I have the following global setting in my .emacs ,----[ .emacs setup for column mode ] | (setq org-columns-default-format "%40ITEM(Task) %17Effort(Estimated Effort){:} %CLOCKSUM") `---- If you have something like this: ,----[ test.org ] | * Project 1 | ** Task 1 | :PROPERTIES: | :Effort: 1:00 | :END: | ** Task 2 | :PROPERTIES: | :Effort: 2:00 | :END: | ** Task 3 | :PROPERTIES: | :Effort: 0:10 | :END: `---- and you put the insertion point in the level 1 task and hit C-c C-x r RET You get a table like the following ,---- | * Project 1 | #+BEGIN: columnview :hlines 1 :id local | | Task | Estimated Effort | CLOCKSUM | | |-------------+------------------+----------| | | * Project 1 | 3:10 | | | | ** Task 1 | 1:00 | | | | ** Task 2 | 2:00 | | | | ** Task 3 | 0:10 | | | #+END: | ** Task 1 | :PROPERTIES: | :Effort: 1:00 | :END: | ** Task 2 | :PROPERTIES: | :Effort: 2:00 | :END: | ** Task 3 | :PROPERTIES: | :Effort: 0:10 | :END: `---- That does exactly what I need for sharing estimates and taking a snapshot of the estimated time. I'm then free to change the estimates during the project and compare that to my initial information. The table is exported to HTML when I export the document. Hope that helps, Bernt
