Effort Report

The effort report helps Product Managers track how much time each engineering change is taking. To print the report, use the browser's print function.

Effort reports include the time in hours spent to:


  • Determine the impact the engineering change will have on the product and schedules (impact analysis)
  • Make the engineering change (implement)
  • Test (validate)

Column Name Description
Name The name of the engineering change.
Type The type of engineering change.
State The lifecycle state of the engineering change.
Owner The owner of the engineering change.
Impact Analysis (days) The number of days to determine what the impact will be on products and schedules. This is the value from the Impact Analysis Effort attribute of the Impact Analysis object. Shows 0 if no Impact Analysis object exists.
Implement (days) The number of days to resolve the engineering change (development + analysis). This is the value from the Implementation Effort attribute of the Impact Analysis object. Shows 0 if no Impact Analysis object exists.
Validate (days) The number of days it takes to validate the engineering change. This is the value from the Validation Effort attribute of the Impact Analysis object. Shows 0 if no Impact Analysis object exists.
Total Effort (days) The total effort in days (Impact Analysis + Implement + Validate).
