NameDescription
Estimated Time Spent


The value of the Estimated Time Spent is the sum of:

1. Actual Time Spent value, in case of open issues where:

  • Remaining Estimate > 0 , if “Use Remaining Estimate Checkbox” is selected;
  • (Original Estimate – Time Spent) > 0 , if “Use Remaining Estimate Checkbox” is not selected;

2. Original Estimate value, in case of open issues where:

  • Remaining Estimate = 0 , if “Use Remaining Estimate Checkbox” is selected;
  • (Original Estimate – Time Spent) <= 0 , if “Use Remaining Estimate Checkbox” is not selected;

3. Original Estimate value, in case of closed issues.

Note: for issues where Original Estimate Value has not been defined, Project Monitor will use Original Estimate = Actual Time Spent ( Logged)

Estimated Time RemainingThe value of the Estimated Time Remaining in open issues may be different according to the user selection of “Use Remaining Estimate” checkbox in the gadget’s control panel. Further information in the section:  “Use Remaining Estimate” Checkbox.


For closed issues, Estimated Time Remaining is always considered to be zero.

Actual Time SpentThe value of Actual Time Spent  is obtained by adding all the Time Spent (Logged), for both open and closed issues.
Projected Time Remaining The Projected Time Remaining is an estimate of the residual time left until the end of the project, based on the values of Estimated Time Spent Estimated Time Remaining and Actual Time Spent.
Estimated Time TotalThe Estimated Time Total  is the sum of Estimated Time Spent and Estimated Time Remaining.
Projected Time TotalThe Projected Time Total  is the sum of Actual Time Spent and Projected Time Total.
DeltaDelta is the difference between  Estimated Time Total  and Projected Time Total.  The gadget shows the Delta between Estimated Time Total andProjected Time Total in a coloured circle. It is green when the delta is positive, red when negative.
