Make reports on estimated and actual time



 
 

Why is it important to compare estimated and actual time?

The reports that show the difference between estimated and actual time not only help you to see if you or your employees are productive. They can help you plan the time more accurately. It is not easy to estimate the right time the task will take. Especially if the task is new to you or you are planning the task for someone else. When you plan less time than the task really takes it may lead to stress and undermine the productivity.

Use reports to become more effective while planning

When comparing estimated and actual time you should distinguish the reasons why the data in two columns is different. In one case you or your employee may be not well qualified for this task and it took more time to be accomplished than you expected. In another case you didn't realize well how much time this task will take, and its an experience for you to plan this type of task better next time. In both cases the report generated by task management software will help you to become more effective as a team leader or when you plan your own tasks.

  1. Start your task management software
  2. Enter estimated time while planning tasks
