We have a pipeline setup which allows us to build and deploy in two modes:
- build everything from scratch and deploy
- look at the previous deployment and build and deploy only incrementally
We do (1) at the inception of a project, then normally we do (2) because it's very fast - we build and deploy a lot on a daily basis.
However sometimes we need to do type 1 of deployments when there is a disruption.
The interleaving of types 1 and 2 of deployments disrupts the progress bar's accuracy for each stage for both types.
We could calculate how long a stage is expected to take based on historical data and type 1 vs 2 of deployments, however there is no way to set a stage to have an expected duration.
The alternative would be to create separate jobs for type 1 and type 2 of deployments. This approach puts lots of pressure on the infrastructure code. We already use a multibranch pipeline and we feel like duplicating our pipeline for each type 1 vs 2 would increase the maintanance cost.
Thus we'd like to be able to tell jenkins what the expected duration for a pipeline step would be, as an opt-in feature. Not setting it would keep things as they are now.

I would have guessed it's not an UI thing, because the UIs use a common business code.
In our case, it's the Pipeline Stage View plugin, but I guess Blue Ocean will also display a progress estimate in the future.
An accurate progress indicator would be a good feature for any UI.

Are you taking about the Pipeline Stage View plugin? Blue Ocean? Something else?
