Value report defaults

Value analytics uses intelligent defaults to estimate time freed by automated changes. These defaults are based on customer research and take into account time to triage, research, and fix issues, as well as context switching. You can also provide your own default values.

When you query the value API, you can specify low, med, or high estimates for time freed parameters, or provide an exact value in minutes based on averages in your organization. In the console Value report, you specify an exact value in minutes. Unless you specify otherwise, both the API and the console use the med values. The baseline intelligent default values are as follows:

Parameter	Intelligent default values
minutesFreedPerCorrectiveChange	low: 90 minutes med: 180 minutes high: 360 minutes
minutesFreedPerIntentionalChange	low: 30 min med: 90 minutes high: 180 minutes
minutesFreedPerTaskRun	low: 30 minutes med: 90 minutes high: 180 minutes
minutesFreedPerPlanRun	low: 90 minutes med: 180 minutes high: 360 minutes

You can change the low, med, and high times by specifying any of the value_report_* parameters in the PE Console node group in the puppet_enterprise::profile::console class.
