Our team would like to see the "Completed Work" field in the Task is roll up into the parent PBI or Bug. This is very important to our workflow.

  Hi Tony,

  This one is not in our high-prio list and it would not for all teams, but I think there are several ways to make this feature working using existing functionality.

  What do you do next with that data? Do you use it directly in VSTS/TFS or export somewhere?

  This is also very important in our workflow.  Our individual teams are worried about booking time and focused on the task level.  But for reporting to the next level our teams just need the rollup of time actually spent, or aggregate of remaining work, or the "original estimate" to the parent work item.

  You can also use VSTS rollup as a service. I use it and it seems to work fine.

  It would be nice if Timetracker did it out of the box though.

  I found a big issue though with that service. It rolls it up correctly if time gets tracked only on task level. However, if time gets tracked against a parent PBI then it overwrites the roll up value and vice versa if additional time gets tracked on task level then it overwrites the time tracked on the PBI instead of adding it.

  In general, Timetracker shows the rolled up time correctly on the work item, but it does not update the completed work field correctly on the parent.

  The issue is that there is no good way to report on parent level on tracked time instead of going into each individual PBI that I know of.

  The easiest for Timetracker would be to just go up the parent tree whenever a time gets tracked on a work item and add the time to all parents.
