Follow assigned work into recorded hours and inspect the automatic validation outcome.
Developer or QA Engineer opens the assigned task, checks the work package and agreed dates, and moves Backlog work into progress when it starts.
The team member records a time entry with the work date, positive hours, person and project. Add the task link where the entry belongs to a particular assignment and describe the work performed.
The team member changes the Draft entry to Submitted. The time action checks that the hours are positive and the entry remains Submitted, then records Approved together with decision and operation evidence.
Project Manager reads the failed receipt when the hours or entry state fail the guard. Correct the source record under the team's procedure before trying the eligible action again.
Project Manager compares time with task progress and estimates. Discuss remaining work with the assigned person before changing the package schedule or accepting another commitment.
And how to keep it from happening.
