In Azure DevOps, under the Scrum template, is there a way to auto calculate the Backlog Item's "Effort" field based on the summation of its child Task items' "Remaining Work" field?
Example:
- A new Backlog Item is created. The "Effort" field is left empty.
- A new child task for the previous Backlog item is created, the "Remaining Work" field is set as 5.
- The "Effort" field of the Backlog Item created in step 1 is automatically updated to 5.
- A new child task for the Backlog item defined in step 1 is created, with the "Remaining Work" field set as 3.
- The "Effort" field of the Backlog Item created in step 1 is automatically calculated to 8 (the sum of 5 and 3).
How can this be achievable?
If this is not possible, how do you guys manage the correlation between a backlog item's estimated effort and its children tasks' remaining work?
