Viewing Time Rollups

Time rollups in Helm ADE give you a consolidated view of effort at every level of your project hierarchy. See how much time has been spent on projects, components, PRDs, and tasks, with breakdowns showing human vs. agent contributions.

Understanding Rollups

A time rollup aggregates all time entries for a specific entity and provides:

• Total duration - Combined human and agent time
• Entry count - Number of individual time entries
• Source breakdown - How much time came from manual tracking vs. agents
• Recent entries - Quick view of recent work

Hierarchy Levels

Time can be viewed at four levels:

Project Level

The highest level rollup shows all time tracked against the project itself, plus:

• Combined time from all components
• Combined time from all PRDs
• Combined time from all tasks

This gives you the complete picture of effort on a project.

Component Level

Component rollups show time tracked directly against the component. Components are reusable modules within your project, and their time rollups help you understand the maintenance and development effort for shared code.

PRD Level

PRD (Product Requirements Document) rollups show time spent implementing a specific feature or requirement. This is particularly useful for:

• Estimating future similar PRDs
• Understanding development velocity
• Tracking automated vs. manual implementation effort

Task Level

Task rollups show the most granular view of effort. Tasks are individual work items within a PRD or component, and their rollups show exactly how much time each task took.

Viewing Rollups

On Entity Pages

Each Project, Component, PRD, and Task page includes a time rollup card showing:

Total time - Large, easy-to-read duration

Entry count - How many time entries contributed

Breakdown bar - Visual representation of human vs. agent time

Source details - Exact durations and counts by source

In the Time Rollup Grid

The Time Tracking section includes a grid view showing rollups for multiple entities at once. This is useful for:

• Comparing effort across projects
• Identifying where most time is being spent
• Spotting imbalances between human and agent work

Drill-Through

Click on any rollup to drill through to:

• Full list of time entries for that entity
• Detailed breakdown by date range
• User-level contribution data (for admins)

Time Summary Reports

For a broader view, use Time Summary reports that aggregate data across:

By Entity Type

See total time broken down by entity type:

• Project time
• Component time
• PRD time
• Task time

By User

See how time is distributed across team members:

• Individual totals
• Human vs. agent contribution per user
• Most active contributors

By Date Range

Filter time data by period:

• Today
• This week
• This month
• Custom date range

Using Rollup Data

For Planning

• Compare actual time to estimates
• Identify patterns in how long similar work takes
• Understand the human/agent work split

For Reporting

• Track team productivity over time
• Report on project effort to stakeholders
• Analyze ROI of AI agent automation

For Optimization

• Find tasks that took longer than expected
• Identify candidates for more automation
• Spot bottlenecks in your workflow
