How Time Tracking Software’s are Dominating Timesheets

William Penn says, “Time is what we want most, but what we use worst”.

We all know how time is important to us. But we do forget about TIME MANAGEMENT while we’re busy sorting other things wisely.

It makes teams or resources more effective, businesses more profitable and companies more prolific.

How To Use Timesheet in Orangescrum

Timesheet is an important time management tool for all organizations. Organizations can lose a large part of their revenue if they cannot organize their employees’ time in an effective way!

The companies which do not do time and resource management effectively will end up with

• Failure to monitor employees’ time spend
• Loss of revenue
• Failure in delivering projects on time and within budget
• Unable to know what consumes the maximum time of their teams
• Inability to plan in flight & future projects
• Unable to allocate resources

“51% of the projects weren’t completed on time, while 47% didn’t meet the original budget, according to PMI research.”

It’s about time! Yes, without effective time management within your organization, you will be unable to run your operations let alone a steady business.

Although we have the Timer and manual Time Entry features, we wanted to further simplify your time management process so that you track time in no time!

Orangescrum now offers easier Time Tracking with Daily and Weekly Timesheets!

How to use Timesheet for Time Entry? 

There are two Timesheets for you to choose from based on your convenience and desired frequency for time tracking.  If you are a daily person you can opt for the “Daily Timesheet” to track your hours spent on a daily basis.

Alternatively, if you prefer to log time once for all (not that I am saying you are lazy :)) you can select the “Weekly Timesheet” to enter time spent across projects and tasks for the week gone by.

Weekly Timesheet

On the weekly timesheet view, you will have the following:

1. Resource: Owner/Admin can see the timesheet of each user, or can add time entry for each user
2. Week View: it will show the current week. You can select the custom week from the calendar as well.
3. Go to Current Week: If you select a custom week, then there will be an option to go to Current week in the time sheet for quick and easy navigation.
4. /Next Week: Click on Previous or Next button to go previous or next weeks
5. Time Entry: Enter Day-wise time entry for the week and click on “Save”. Before you log time, you need to select your project and task to log time.
6. Edit/Delete Time Entry: You can update your log time by editing it. Also you can delete it as well.
7. Reports: You can get the following reports from the Weekly Timesheet:

• Project-wise total time spent by a user
• Day wise total time spent by a user
• Total time spent by a user in a week

You can log time using the Timesheet:

• Navigate to Time Log and Click on “Weekly Timesheet”
• By default, you’ll be on the current week starting from Sunday to Saturday 
• By default, tasks which you have closed/performed any action (ex. Task modified, updated, added time log, changed assign to, changed due date etc..) will be added to your timesheet

Simplified Time Tracking Timesheets with Orangescrum Project Management Tool

Delivering on time, within estimated time and budget is integral to business viability. Digital marketing agencies, professional services & consulting firms or product and services companies like us constantly battle with questions -

• Are our employees disengaged?
• Do they monitor their time spend?
• Are we able to capture and track actual time spend vs estimated times
• Do they find their work meaningful?
• Are they motivated enough?
• Do they understand the impact their work has on the client’s success?

If the answers are less than affirmative, it is clear that there is unmindful wastage of time within our teams and it is hurting our business and clients.

& we were no exception at Andolasoft Inc.

It also means they are not able to differentiate between productive and non-productive tasks and how they allocate their “Time” to these tasks.

The age old industry adage we love to quote – “You cannot manage what you can’t measure”is surprisingly prevalent in today’s digital world despite of millions of apps and tools to measure almost every human activity.

Activities feed on time; a precious resource!

Before we can ever start making amends to the situation we are in, we need to know

• Where is our team spending their maximum time?
• Does their time spend bring revenue?
• Are we spending as planned?
• Will we deliver on time and within budget?
• Will this project be profitable?

Find all your answers with Orangescrum’s simplifiedDAILY & WEEKLY TIME SHEETS.

Let’s see how it works.
