FAQ

Why break a task into steps?

Estimating a whole task at once tends to be less accurate than estimating each smaller step, then adding them up.

What does the workday percentage mean?

It shows how much of a standard 8-hour workday your total estimate would take up, so you can judge if a task fits in one day.

Is my step list saved?
