Our projects are developed by a partner.
Each contractor working for that partner has a charge out rate when doing a particular activity (Deployment, Design, Development, Documentation, Requirements, Testing). We use the native TFS "Activity" field for this.
We have a number of Bands that a team member may be in: Senior, Mid-Level, Junior, Intern.
We have a matrix of charge out rates; each contractor is related to a Band, and the charge out rate is determined by the Activity.
We would like to be able to calculate the total budget used for far in $.
For example,
John -> Senior
Requirements 10h @ 50 = $500
Development 5h @ 40 = $200
Total = $700
David => Mid-level
Development 30h @ 30 = $900
Documentation 10h @ 20 = $200
Total = $1100
Claire => Junior
Testing => 20h @ 20 = $400
Total: $400
Total Budget Used for far = $2200.
At a minimum, we need to be able to export the 'Activity' field of the tasks as part of a budget export and do the calculations in Excel.
It would be excellent to have this information available in real-time so we would know the current financial status without having to do exports and calculations. These calculations are currently very time consuming for us and having the information available whenever we need it it would be very valuable.
