It's helpful. when you have to quote estimates to your customer, this estimate is what is going to be really billed and then you want to know, how much you were off, whether you actually have some margin. By comparing estimates to actuals, you can get better at your estimates.
It can be annoying, but for example, redmine-style time tracking in checkin comments are quite unobtrusive.
- robinhood 10y agoDo you use this feature with Redmine? (time spent in commit messages)
- vetinari 10y agoYes, although some colleagues prefer logging their time separately. The commit message allows only for specifying hours, the separate time-sheet entry also date and activity (i.e. designing, testing, documenting, and other non-strictly programming activities). It also allows to specify the same task several times, without having multiple commits :)
- robinhood 10y agoThe concept of "activity" is interesting. I've created an issue to talk about it, thank you. https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-ee/issues/1304 https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-ee/issues/1304
