In our office we work around 8 hours per day. We use Agile (Scrum) but we count only 6 hours per day. We recognize that we spend around 2 hours in overhead tasks (informal meetings, tasks not listed in the sprint and some not-job related work.
- joshavant 11y agoThis is one of the most realistic approaches to project management that I've ever heard of.
- jsegura 11y agoWe use Jira with Tempo plugin as hour tracking tool. With my approach, I usually log around 6.7 hours per day. This logs goes to a specific story/task. The only problem that we found is with people coming from consultancy. They are not confident with only having 6 hours per day as they are used to log 8 hours and bill them to a customer. In general, the team is pretty comfortable with the approach of using 6h/day for estimations in our tasks.
- Scea91 11y agoYou still get paid for 8 right? You count only 6 for estimates. Just clarifying that I understood correctly. :)
