I have created a project plan in which the requirements are broken down with several tasks and estimates at that level. In creating the project plan, Ive added and deleted a number of requirements/tasks that had estimates. I am trying to use the monthly utilization to establish velocity but the but the deleted requirements/task estimates are used as part of each individuals utilization calculation making them look extremely over allocated. Why does SpiraTeam use these estimated hours toward the utilization when the requirements/tasks have been deleted? Has anyone noticed this and is there an update or correction coming from Inflectra to address this? en-US(C) Copyright 2006-2026 Inflectra Corporation.support@inflectra.com/Computers/Software/Project_Management//Computers/Software/Quality_Assurance/KronoDesksupport@inflectra.comhttp://www.inflectra.com/kronodesk/forums/threads120/Support/Forum/spirateam/issues-questions/2159.aspxthreadId=2159Stan Chung (stanley.chung@christianacare.org)utilization calculation requirements estimates task estimates I have created a project plan in which the requirements are broken down with several tasks and estimates at that level.

In other words, tasks can live independently of requirements. If a task has been assigned to you, it will still be shown in the My Assigned Tasks widget until that task is either deleted or completed - whether or not it is linked to a requirement, or if so if that requirement is deleted. A task is a record of work done, and ties in to timecard functionality. If a requirement is deleted, but the developer has completed a task, it seems appropriate to make sure the work itself can still be tracked.
