Azure Devops Query to find Daily hours spent on Work item

Question

I have to find out time spend by a resource on a Task.

let say,

• There are 3 Task (Task-A,Task-B,Task-C)
• There are 3 User (User-A,User-B,User-C)
• All the Task have Original estimate of 8 hours
• on Day 1 All the User have work 2 hours on their respective tasks

So I should get a result of 2

I am using Azure Work Item query to calculate and display the results.

I am not understanding what should be done to calculate the daily work done on a task.

Answer 1

Azure Devops Query to find Daily hours spent on Work item

AFAIK, Azure devops does not focus on micromanaging and focus on low value metrics.

So, Azure devops doesn't track the time spent on a per day basis. It keeps track of the total time spent. If you want a per person per day value, you'll have to go through the iterations/workitem history and calculate the running difference.

If you really looking for a TimeReporting for the work items of per person, I suggest that you take a look at a third party yool like Timetracker:

Timetracker

Hope this helps.
