The system will sum these up to the parent requirement so that this 'bottom-up' estimate can be compared with the original top-down estimate - Task Remaining Effort = the amount of time during development left to complete the task (updated by the developer during development) - indicates the % complete - Task Actual Effort = the amount of time taken by the develop (so far) in completing the task. The Projected Effort is a read-only field that gives an indication of the final total estimate for the task based on the actual hours consumed and the time remaining.
