Where efforts go

The Challenge

Knowing where efforts go is crucial for planning, performance evaluation, and time-management improvement. Understanding how your team spends their time allows to fine-tune short term priorities and helps develop an effective long-term work plan.

To keep track of where efforts go, it is common to implement timesheet solutions or manual reports. However, these approaches have significant drawbacks - they are time-consuming and are often perceived as a waste of time and micromanagement.

Impact

Lack of visibility into past efforts leads to negative outcomes:

No reliable data on what it takes to complete a project
Planning for the future becomes guesswork
No clear picture of productivity i.e. efforts spent vs. results achieved
Conflicting opinions about each other’s productivity and performance among team members
