Tracking the time taken to complete the work items is easier now with the timesheet reports.
Benefits of timesheet reporting
- Compare the progress of the sprints and track the sprint that has recorded the maximum hours.
- Track the work item type that has logged the maximum hours in your sprint.
- Track the users who have worked the maximum and minimum hours.

in the upper-right corner.
- Choose the relevant criteria and click Apply Filter.

Actual vs planned report
Actual vs planned report will help you track the planned and actual time spent on a particular set of work items. It is based on the planned vs the actual start and end dates of the work items. The difference (i.e. the variance) between the planned and actual hours will determine the efficiency of the project users. The manager can track the maximum and minimum hours spent on a work item, sprint, or user in the project.
Use case
A software team wants to track the actual vs planned time taken by the Dev and QA teams. This will help the manager track the difference in the hours committed vs the hours accomplished by both the teams. Based on the results, they can know the team that takes the maximum time to complete a feature request.
To differentiate the story, task, and bug created by both the Dev and QA team, the team can create custom item type. The work items related to Dev can be tagged under the Dev Items (Custom work item type) and the work items related to QA can be tagged under QA items (Custom work item type). This will help the manager to filter the Dev and QA items individually to find the actual vs planned hours.
Track the actual vs planned report
The sprint owner wants to find out the difference between the actual vs planned time taken by both teams.
Using the filter option, the team can select the Dev items (Item type).
- Track the planned and actual time for individual items and its overall total.
- Track the variance in the planned vs actual hours of individual items and overall variance of all the dev items.
- Determine the variance %
- Variance = (Planned hours - Actual hours)
- Variance % = (Variance / Planned) * 100
- Variance in Green : Actual hour is less than the planned hour.
- Variance in Red : Actual hour is more than the planned hour.
Similarly, the team can find the actual vs planned time taken by the QA items (Item type).
The variance obtained in both the teams will help the manager track which team is performing better by completing the items within the planned hours.
If you are a client based company, you can track all the billable hours and estimate the total hours of the project. The team can export the report and share them to the clients.
Similarly, the team can find the actual vs planned time taken by the QA items (Item type). The variance obtained in both the teams will help the manager track the team that shows a better progress.
If you are a client based company, you can track all the billable hours and estimate the total hours of the project. The team can export the report and share them to their clients.
Where should I access this report?
You can directly navigate to the Reports module and access the Actual vs Planned report under Timesheet Reports. This report can be fetched either based on the sprints or users in the project.
Two types of actual vs planned report
Zoho Sprints comes up with two different types of actual vs planned report.
Sprint based actual vs planned report
Track the actual vs planned progress for all the work items across the sprints in your project. Choose Sprint in View by and fetch the work items.
The duration is represented either using the:
- Actual start and end dates of the work item vs the planned start and end dates of the work item.
- Planned log hours vs actual log hours
You can click the drop-down next to the work item and view the actual vs planned progress of the assignees as well. You can also track the total hours logged for all the work items.
The overall progress will determine the total of the actual vs planned hours and their variance.
User based actual vs planned report
Similar to the sprint based report, the managers can track the actual vs planned report for all the users in the project. Choose Users in View By to fetch all the work items assigned to the users.
The duration is tracked by the actual vs planned log hours of the work items assigned to them.
You can select the drop-down next to the user to view all the work items assigned to that particular user. You can also track the overall total of the actual vs planned report of all the users in the project.
Export and export history
You can export the actual vs planned report and view the export history anytime. Click the Export button. Click the ellipsis icon and select Export history to view the export and download it.
