Work Log (Time Entries)

The Work Log tracks how much time has been spent on each backlog item. Multiple time entries can be recorded per item — for example, separate entries for initial development and post-review rework.

Adding a Time Entry

1. Open a backlog item detail page.
2. Find the Work Log section in the right sidebar (below Attachments).
3. Click Add time.
4. Enter the duration using the hours and minutes fields.
5. Optionally add a note describing what was worked on.
6. Click Save entry.

Viewing the Total

The Work Log section header shows the total time logged across all entries (e.g. “2h 45m total”). Individual entries show their duration, the date they were recorded, and any associated note.

Editing an Entry

Click the pencil icon on any entry to open the inline edit form. Adjust the duration and note, then click Save. The total updates immediately.

Deleting an Entry

Click the delete icon and confirm when prompted. The total time is adjusted accordingly.

Duration Display

Durations are shown in human-readable format:

• Less than 60 minutes: 45m
• 60 minutes or more: 1h 15m

Copilot Integration

GitHub Copilot automatically logs time entries when it completes work on a ticket using the add_time_entry MCP tool. These entries appear in the Work Log alongside manually-added entries and contribute to the total.
