About timesheet | Zoho Sprints Help

About timesheet

Businesses primarily use timesheets to understand the time taken to complete tasks, estimate the cost of the work based on the hours invested, monitor the number of hours employees log in, and ensure time is used productively. Timesheets help record time accurately and use the recorded data for further analysis. It is an essential tool to account for the time spent on work in terms of hours and cost.
In Zoho Sprints, timesheet serves as an important instrument in tracking log hours that are centered around sprints and work items. It allows you to calculate billed hours, enable approval process, discount holidays, and define log hour limits.

Benefits 

  1. Timesheet helps to easily track the number of hours your scrum team has spent on work items.
  2. Track the total hours for the work.
  3. Calculate the budget based on the work hours of the users.
  4. Complete the work on time with scheduled deadlines.
  5. Estimate the amount of future work based on the total logged hours.
  6. Measure the effort of the users in your project.

Example


Let's say you need to track the number of hours each user in your organization spends on the assigned tasks. This data is needed for calculating client billing, managing employee payroll, and accounting for the organization's expenditure. The timesheet module enables you to configure work item specific setting for your timesheet. You can:
  1. Configure billing status.
  2. Enable approval process.
  3. Set restrictions for logging hours.
  4. Define work item specific configurations like:
  1. enabling multiple timers,
  2. logging hours for closed items,
  3. logging hours for future and past time,
  4. enabling daily and weekly log hour limits, and
  5. setting up reminders for log hour limits.

There're an array of field types available for you to pick from. Select the required fields and configure them according to your preference. Learn more.
