I have a Scrum project in my Azure DevOps Server. I assigned an effort to each PBI and set the capacity for each user. I see in the right panel Work details
the hours for each activity.
The activities ("Testing" or "Documentation" etc.) are a field with drop-down list - Microsoft.VSTS.Common.Activity
, you need to add to your PBI/Task layout and choose the activity.
To change the Activity menu selections, see Add or modify a field, customize a picklist.
Even you move PBI/Task to Done the remaining work not changed to 0 automatically. to achieve that you need to make a custom rule. if you still working with hosted XML process it's something like that:
<STATE value="Done">
<FIELDS>
<FIELD refname="Microsoft.VSTS.Scheduling.RemainingWork">
<WHEN field="System.Reason" value="Completed">
<COPY from="value" value="0" />
</WHEN>
</FIELD>
</FIELDS>
</STATE>
