The special property Effort can be used for effort estimates

If you want to plan your work in a very detailed way, or if
you need to produce offers with quotations of the estimated
work effort, you may want to assign effort estimates to
entries. If you are also clocking your work, you may later
want to compare the planned effort with the actual working
time. Effort estimates can now be stored in a special
property `Effort', displayed side-to-side with clock sums,
and also be summed over a day, in order to show the planned
work load of a day. See the manual for more details.
Carsten, I'm already using a property called "Estimate" that works
great, especially in column view. What extra functionally would I get
by switching to this Effort property, or changing the
org-effort-property to work with my Estimate property?
Hi Peter,
currently the only difference is that you can include the duration of
appointments into the total effort estimate of a day, that is all.
I think this property will become more special in the future, maybe
using special commands to set the estimate without having to enter
column view. But you are quite right that not much special stuff
happens right now with this property.
HTH.

Thanks.
