## Effort progress

The Effort progress report visualizes the project's progress in terms of effort according to the following formula: `timeSpent / (remainingEstimate + timeSpent)`*.*

This report displays three data points that summarize all tasks within the selected box.

- Original Estimate (this data point is always colored 100% and shows only the value of the Original Estimate)
- Time Spent (Formula of the blue bar indicating the progress of the Time Spent: `timeSpent / (remainingEstimate + timeSpent)`)
- Remaining Estimate (Formula of the blue bar indicating the remaining estimated effort in the project: `remaining estimate / (remainingEstimate + timeSpent)`)
