Setting the "Working Hours" in a plan sets the default number of work hours per day and the days per week that are used for a team when estimates are calculated. Setting working hours and days impacts the following:
- Standard weekly hours for people (if not configured for individual members)
- Import of issues with time-based estimates (conversion of estimates into the plan units)
- Apply these plan updates to projects when syncing
- Changing this setting also indirectly impacts velocity (when using story points) adjustments based on absences, by changing the default weekly hours
Set working hours and days
To set working hours:
- Select Plan > Configure > Working Hours and Days.
- Enter a value in hours.
- Select the days of the week that make up a work week.
The time to complete a task is calculated by multiplying the estimate foritemin the backlog and the number of working hours in a day.
| Working Hours | Estimate | Time to complete task |
|---|---|---|
| 5 hours a day | 3 days | 15 hours |
| 8 hours a day | 3 days | 24 hours |
Set non-working days
You can also schedule a single or range of days to set as days off, or non-working days. Non-working days are a list of specific dates that are global holidays/absences for every single resource. They overwrite other settings such as presence intervals. In the graphical schedule, non-working days are treated like weekends currently and are filtered out.
