Tasks

Set an estimate

I want to …

… give a task a Fibonacci or time estimate that can also feed a column limit.

Before you start

  • The module belongs to Pro and Ultra.
  • Fibonacci values are fixed (1, 2, 3, 5, 8, …). Time is a value you enter.

Here's how

  1. Open the estimate field on the card, or on the task the Estimate row in the panel below the description. If the row is missing, tap the Estimate chip with a plus icon below the panel (Enable Estimate). On Free the chip shows a lock and opens the plans.
  2. Choose Fibonacci or Time. On the task, the choice sits behind the slider icon on the right of the row.
  3. For Fibonacci, tap one of the suggested values. The card then shows something like 5 pts.
  4. For time, set the duration on the task with minus and plus in 5-minute steps. Press and hold to keep counting. On the card, pick one of the offered durations.
  5. The trash icon (Clear estimate) empties the field. The cross (✕) at the far right of the row (Delete) turns the module off after a confirmation.
  6. If the column limit is Fibonacci sum or Time sum, this estimate counts toward the badge in the column header, for example 8/13 pts or 1h 30m/4h.

The result

The card has a size. Column limits can add those sizes up.

Common questions

Can a task have both points and time?

No. It is either Fibonacci or time.

Does Done still count toward a limit?

Done has no limit. Only work columns sum estimates.
