In our office we work around 8 hours per day. We use Agile (Scrum) but we count only 6 hours per day. We recognize that we spend around 2 hours in overhead tasks (informal meetings, tasks not listed in the sprint and some not-job related work.

You still get paid for 8 right? You count only 6 for estimates. Just clarifying that I understood correctly. :)

[jsegura]

Exactly. You understood it correctly :)

Most likely gets paid a salaried.

This is one of the most realistic approaches to project management that I've ever heard of.

We use Jira with Tempo plugin as hour tracking tool. With my approach, I usually log around 6.7 hours per day. This logs goes to a specific story/task.

The only problem that we found is with people coming from consultancy. They are not confident with only having 6 hours per day as they are used to log 8 hours and bill them to a customer.

In general, the team is pretty comfortable with the approach of using 6h/day for estimations in our tasks.
