Time Tracking Product Owner
As the product owner, you are privy to more information. Feel free to revel this information as you are questioned.
- Consultants typically work on a single project. However, they can work on up to 4 projects. This is handled by different pages in the existing spreadsheet. In the future, we’d like to allow for more than 4 projects.
- Consultants only record actual billing time. We’d like to allow for more fidelity, e.g. travel, corporate contributions:
- Corporate Contributions: Presenting at Conferences & User Groups, Publishing in magazines and books, Internal development such as course development, Certification
- Travel Time: Billable & Non billable
- Under Client time: Development, Mentoring, Infrastructure
- Configurable email reminders would be handy
- A formatted email, which could be replied to, to allow time tracking would be nice
- All projects have a single engagement manger. The same engagement manager can manage multiple projects. Time sheets, once turned in, are reviewed by the engagement manager. Engagement managers need to be informed when the y have time sheets to improve. When all parts of a time sheet are approved (e.g. working on multiple projects), the time sheet is successfully completed.
- All of this is true for expense reports.
- Generating summary reports of hours worked on a project, billing clients, expense reports, etc. are were the real time-savings could happen. This is very important as we’re running out of capacity to keep up on a monthly basis.
