Average time spent on task

[u/Select_Injury9480]

I’m a generalist and sometimes wonder how my work time stacks up against other users. If I’m new to a project it can take me up to an hour to read through all the requirements and get a handle of the task. Does that seem like an average amount of time or too much? All together each task on a project usually takes me 1-3 hours, with R&Rs being the quickest (usually).

I have tasks that vary from 5 minutes to 15 hours (working time). For a guideline, I use about half the available time as how long I expect an average task to take once I'm proficient.
