Know If Your Estimates Are Accurate

Are your estimates good or just lucky? Notis logs estimates and closures so you have real data on estimation accuracy for continuous improvement.

Trigger

Issue Updated Trigger

Triggered when an issue is updated. For example labels are changed, issue status is changed, etc.

Action

Execute ClickHouse Query

Execute a sql query in clickhouse and return the results. this is the primary action for querying data from clickhouse databases.

Why this helps

Your team makes estimates, but you don't track whether they're accurate. Without data, you can't improve estimation skills or adjust how you plan.

  • Auto-log estimates and completion times for comparison
  • Data-driven insights into estimation accuracy by person and issue type
  • Foundation for improving estimation skills and planning reliability

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Linear and ClickHouse to Notis.
  • 2Tell Notis: 'When an issue estimate changes or closes, log it to my estimates table with the estimate and completion date.'
  • 3Notis uses the Issue Updated trigger to capture both events.
  • 4Select Slack or email for run notifications.
  • 5Test by creating an estimated issue, closing it, and checking your estimates table.

Questions about this workflow

How do I compare estimate vs actual?

Notis logs both. Query to find: estimated 2 days, took 5 days; or estimated 1 week, took 2 days. Patterns emerge quickly.

Can I track estimates by person?

Yes. You'll see who's accurate and who tends to underestimate, which helps with skill development and planning.

What if issues don't have estimates?

Notis still logs them, but the estimate field is empty. You can filter to only estimated issues when analyzing.
