How to Configure Time in Engineering?
Click on the "Time metrics" button and select "Create Time metrics."
Set Start/Stop Statuses for Calculation:
Start status: Choose the status when an issue enters the engineering phase (e.g., "In Progress," "Engineering," or "Development").
Stop status: Set the status when development is complete (e.g., "Ready for Testing," "Code Review," or "Done").
Optional: Configure Pause Statuses: If development is paused for external reviews or approvals, configure pause statuses like "Waiting for Input" to stop the clock during such times.
Granular Data: Configure first/last transitions to/from statuses for more detailed insights, such as when the task was first picked up by the engineering team or when it was marked as ready for review.
Set Warning/Critical Limits: Define acceptable time limits for how long a task should remain in engineering. Receive automated email alerts if tasks exceed these limits, helping you manage delays proactively.
Customizing Reports:
Adjust settings like project type, date range, and time format to match your team's needs.
Use the multi-calendar feature to account for non-working hours and different time zones if needed.
Visualizing Data: Once configured, view Time in Engineering on the app’s grid, showing you exactly how much time was spent in the development phase for each task.
Exporting Data: You can export Time in Engineering data to Excel or Google Sheets to share with stakeholders or analyze trends to make informed decisions.
