如何在VSTS中启用用户故事下任务的已完成工作与初始估算汇总？

Hey there, let's break down exactly how to get those Completed Work and Original Estimate fields rolling up in VSTS (now Azure DevOps) — I know the official docs can be a bit vague, so let's make this concrete.

First, let's confirm permissions: you'll need Project Administrator access (or at least permissions to customize work item processes) to make these changes. If your partial admin rights cover project-level work item customization, you're good to go; if not, you'll need to loop in a full project/organization admin.

Step 1: Configure Field Rollup in Process Settings #

This is where you enable the rollup behavior at the work item type level:

• Open your VSTS project, click the gear icon in the bottom-left corner to go to Project Settings.
• Navigate to Boards > Process in the left menu.
• Select the process template your project uses (e.g., Scrum, Agile, or a custom process).
• Find the work item type you want to enable rollup for (like User Stories, which are parent items for Tasks) and click into it.
• Locate the Completed Work and Original Estimate fields in the list. For each field:
  • Click the pencil icon to edit the field settings.
  • Scroll to the Rollup behavior section.
  • Select Sum as the rollup method (this will add up values from child work items).
  • Check the box for Allow rollup to activate the feature.
  • Save your changes for each field.

Step 2: Verify Rollup in Tree Queries #

Once the field settings are updated, you'll need to make sure your queries are set to display the rolled-up values:

• Create or open a Tree of work items query (this is the only query type that supports rollup).
• Click the Columns button at the top of the query results.
• For both Completed Work and Original Estimate, click the dropdown next to the field name and select Sum from the rollup options.
• Save the query. Now, when you run it, parent work items will show the summed total of their child items' Completed Work and Original Estimate.

Quick Note #

If you don't see the rollup options in the process settings, it's likely a permissions issue — reach out to your project admin to grant you the necessary access to customize work item processes.
