Weakpoints and Hints

I don't think it's necessary to explain to an experienced project manager.

• The planned value as of today is linearly interpolated. Therefore, the days late as of today may be inaccurate. It may or may not be reasonable.
• The planned value is most important for accuracy. Don't be afraid to update estimated hours of a ticket frequently to take advantage of this plugin.
• % Done is also important as it affects earned value. %done tends to be entered subjectively, and I think it should be linked with the status if possible.
• So don't think too hard. The manager pays the latest attention to the members' minds, regardless of whether they are on the desk.
• Working days exclude Saturdays and Sundays. I also want to consider the holidays of each country.
