RESOURCE TIME TRACKING
Often time project leaders estimate resource hours by soliciting feedback from skilled resources. Innotas gives you visibility into time accounting from previous projects in order to
more accurately estimate upcoming project and system support hours.
SYMPTOMS Lack of visibility into team’s time management Not sure about team’s capacity Do not have data to analyze productivity Inability to allocate time to appropriate projects
or departments Cannot understand how much time is being spent
on operations versus project work

RESOURCE TIME TRACKING IMPLEMENTATION STRATEGY

Time TrackingItems to Consider in Innotas
Who’s actually tracking time? Intervals of time? (15min, 30min, etc.) Visibility into time tracking? “Approved” (workflow) or just tracked? Projects (Milestones, Phases, etc.) Admin time? (Meetings, Vacation, etc.) Other Buckets?
To achieve your desired goal, ensure appropriate data is captured!
RESULTS Notify project sponsors how
much time is being dedicated to their projects.
Able to get visibility into which resources are actually over capacity and justify hiring or supplemental decisions
Able to more accurately estimate work efforts going forward
