Daily reporting about done work
At the end of every sprint/iteration work day manager or users should enter into Sprintometer time information for tasks they were working on. This can be done is editable spreadsheets on Sprint/Iteration, User Story of Task level. Usually it is done in the rightmost vertical column of spreadsheet which contains editable cells of the current (last one so far) day of sprint/iteration.
Both in SCRUM and XP projects tasks can be closed partially which means user can report that for example he/she spent 5 perfect hours working on task originally estimated in 10 perfect hours.
In case of SCRUM project 2 values separated by slash (‘/’) should be entered for correspondent task cell. In accordance with SCRUM first value indicates how much time user was working on specific task while second value indicated how much time he/she believes is left to do. For quicker input slash and second value can be skipped. In this case ‘time left’ will be automatically calculated and displayed in the same cell taking into account time spent during the day and current task estimation.
In case of XP (Extreme Programming) project single value should be entered for correspondent task cell. In accordance with XP this value indicates how much time of original estimation is done.
