Project Tracking with Timeless Time & Expense
Time tracking and project tracking are similar activities. Project tracking requires effective time tracking, but just because you are tracking your time, does not mean you have enough information for project tracking.
Project Management
Continuous project tracking is needed for true project management. Often times, a project plan is drawn up before a project starts. Everyone is happy - they understand the work that needs to be done and can see when the project will be delivered. But a project does not exist in a bubble, it is effected by everything around it. If the project plan is not adjusted for changes, the project plan is worthless and will be ignored. Without an up to date project plan, you cannot make the decisions needed to complete the project successfully.
Estimating
The first step of any project plan is to estimate the work required. You will find information that is right for billing does not have the detail to accurately estimate future work. That’s where the time tracker features of Timeless Time & Expense benefit you!
Timeless Time & Expense provides up to 20 custom defined levels so you can track time at the level of detail you need. Try that with other tools that give you the standard client and task levels. With Timeless Time & Expense's flexible reporting capability, you get the information needed to accurately estimate time and costs on future tasks in addition to accurate billing information. It's easy to summarize at any level to get the information you need when you need it.
Remember, different employees have different skill levels; if you don’t take this in to account when estimating you won’t have accurate estimates. You need to have historical data to develop accurate estimates. Let Timeless Time & Expense ensure you have accurate estimates by tracking the work of all your employees.
Tracking
As work progresses, you can check the status of your project easily by running a Progress report. See the work items that are taking too much time or running late before they become a problem. React before it's too late.
Of course, project management starts with a good plan, but it doesn’t end there. Projects are dynamic; they change over time. If you don’t keep track of the project, it slowly gets out of date. Soon you don’t know where the project stands. You may miss opportunities to expand the project or worse, the project is late and you were the last one to know. With many levels of detail, Timeless Time & Expense can track your project at the same level of detail as your project plan. If you use MS Project, you don’t have to wait for each employee to update the project plan themselves; you can update the project plan for your whole team at once using the included integration with MS Project.
Timeless Time & Expense comes in two versions. We offer an Enterprise version for tracking your team or entire company and a personal version for individual tracking. Do you need time and project tracking for Enterprise or for Personal use?
