English image not yet available...Predictable Remaining Hours per Project
English image not yet available...Predictable Remaining Hours are displayed (when entering or when the selected project favorite is chosen), as soon as a project budget has been set. They are calculated from the set project budget (excluding the set portion of Additional services) minus the hours already worked and planned. Past planning and planning for the current day are no longer included, as the actual performance counts.
The goal is to roughly plan the entire project "to zero". This quickly shows how long the project will approximately take and how capacities will develop in the long term.
