A project
Usually a client or a piece of work, with the members assigned to it. A person can be on as many projects as needed.
Track time by project and task
TimoDesk project time tracking saves every tracked hour to its project and task. Agencies, consultants and software teams get project totals, hours per member and task analytics automatically.
Project time tracking
Hours without a project tell you little
Forty tracked hours tell you very little until you know which project and which client got them, and whether the project you worry about got any. TimoDesk links every hour to a project for $1 per user per month, built for agencies, consultants and software teams that bill by project. For step-by-step help, see the Project timing guide.
Structure
Projects, tasks, and team members
Create a project, add the members who work on it, and split it into tasks. After that, every timer session is saved to a task, and nobody has to sort the hours later.
- Projects with members and project leaders
- Tasks inside each project, with one or more assignees
- Time estimates on each task, with the tracked hours beside them
- A member can be on as many projects as the work needs
Visibility
See hours as they add up, not after the project
Project timing shows how many hours a project has used while the work is still going. Each task has its own analytics, so one card shows the time, activity, apps, websites and screenshots behind it.
- Per-project timing as the work happens
- Hours per member within a project
- Per-task analytics for time, activity, apps, websites and screenshots
- A time and activity report per project, as PDF or CSV for a client
Planning happens on the board
Every project has a kanban board, a list and a calendar, with dates, priorities
and comments on each task. That part is covered under
project management.
This page is about the hours.
Where hours go
Where each hour is saved
Nothing is sorted later. When a session ends, it is already linked to its project and task, so nobody has to divide hours by hand to get a project total.
Your organization
Everyone who tracks time, and every project they track it on.
A task inside it
The card people work on from the kanban board. Task analytics come from this level, and a My Tasks view lists each person's own tasks.
A tracked session
The timer running, with the activity level recorded at the same time. Every hour in every TimoDesk report starts here.
One thing TimoDesk does not do: track budgets. It reports the hours on a project, but it does not compare them with a budget amount you set. If you need budget alerts, TimoDesk does not have them.
Questions
About project time tracking
Including one about budgets: TimoDesk does not track them.
How does project time tracking work in TimoDesk?
A member picks a project and task in the desktop app and starts the timer. Every tracked hour is saved to that task, so project totals and hours per member add up automatically.
Where do I plan the tasks themselves?
On the project's kanban board, which also has list and calendar views. The hours tracked on each card add up to the project totals.
Can I track time per client project?
Yes. Create a project for each client. Hours are saved to the task being worked on as well as to the day.
Can I see analytics for a single task?
Yes. Every task has its own analytics: time, activity, app usage, websites, screenshots, and the members who worked on it.
Does it track project budgets?
No. TimoDesk reports the hours on a project, but it does not store a budget or compare hours against one. If you need budget alerts, check this before you choose TimoDesk.
Can a member be on several projects?
Yes, as many as you need. Their time splits across the projects automatically, and nobody has to divide it later.
