Project time tracking
Project time tracking for understanding which projects take more time than expected and why.
Quick answer
Track planning, delivery, meetings, revisions, support and admin for each project. This makes overruns visible before they become normal.
Why projects overrun
Projects often overrun because scope is unclear, revisions are unbounded, feedback is slow or switching costs are ignored. A time log shows which cause repeats.
Weekly project review
At the end of the week, compare estimated time with actual time and decide whether the project needs a scope change, a pricing change or a process change.
