Set Time Estimates and Track Time Spent

⚡ Available on Business and Enterprise plans

Redbooth’s Set Time Estimate feature allows you to plan how much time you expect a task to take, and then track actual time spent as you complete it. This helps you and your team better manage workloads and measure progress.

Setting a Time Estimate

1. Open a task.

2. Hover over the Due Date section.

3. Click Set Time Estimate.

4. Enter the expected time to complete the task in hh:mm format (i.e., 06:30 for six and a half hours).

5. Hit Save.

Your time estimate will now appear next to the task’s due date.

Tracking Time Spent

Once you’ve worked on or completed a task, you can track the actual time spent:

1. Open the task and go to the Comments section.

2. Add a comment (i.e., “Selected images”).

3. Click the Time Spent button.

4. Enter the time in hh:mm format.

5. Hit the Comment button.

The tracked time will be logged against the total estimate and shown with a completion status bar next to the tasks due date.
