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 _______________________________________________ Emacs-orgmode mailing list Please use `Reply All' to send replies to the list.
