Reporting – Unplanned Work Almost every project generates some unanticipated work items, as team members progress through the stages of development. The Unplanned Work Report helps you see the work items you started a project with, and the work items you added after the project began. Very few projects know all of the work to be done ahead of time; this may be perfectly acceptable, if you schedule a sufficient buffer for handling the unplanned work (e.g., bugs, security issues, etc.). On the other hand, this can be a real problem if you have not scheduled sufficient capacity for the unplanned work, and may force you to cut back on the planned features of your project. Gathering data about the typical volume of unplanned work that your team generates can help you to plan the necessary buffer for unplanned work items for your next team project. Unplanned Work Report
