ClickUp users frequently handle project management tasks that involve tracking estimated and spent time to monitor progress effectively. A common pain point reported by users is the absence of a 'Time Remaining' column, which forces them to manually calculate how much work is left or how much time was overspent on a specific task or subtask. This manual computation not only takes additional time but also increases the risk of errors, making efficient project management more challenging. With a large number of tasks, it becomes practically unmanageable to keep track manually.
🗒️ Feature Requests
- Add Time Remaining Column:
The extension should automatically calculate the time remaining on a task by subtracting the "Time Spent" from the "Time Estimate". This feature should be dynamic, updating as the task progresses. ClickUp users emphasize the importance of this to avoid manual calculations and reduce errors. - Configurable Time Remaining:
Allow ClickUp users to configure the 'Time Remaining' column so it can be adjusted manually if needed. Some users prefer to modify the remaining time based on changes in task complexity or other unforeseen issues, making flexibility crucial in this feature. - Visual Indicator for Time Status:
Implement a visual indicator (e.g., a progress bar) in the task view that displays the 'Time Remaining' as a percentage of the total estimated time. This visual cue would aid ClickUp users in quickly assessing the status of tasks at a glance. - Include Time Remaining in Reports:
The calculated 'Time Remaining' should be visible not only in task or list views but also in ClickUp reports and dashboards. This helps in better resource allocation and project planning, providing a comprehensive overview of workload.
