Time Tracking

Time Tracking

Time logs capture how long you spent on tasks. Use them for estimate vs. actual, billing, and retrospectives.

How to Record

Task detail → Time Logs panel.

  • Timer: start / pause / stop. Auto-saved on stop.
  • Manual entry: type start/end times or a duration directly.
  • Add a one-line note about what you did.

Estimate vs. Actual

  • Set estimatedHours when creating a task
  • Accumulated actualHours are compared automatically — shown as a donut/bar on the card
  • Large gaps inform retrospective decisions

Statistics

  • Personal: total hours per day/week/month, plus distribution across projects and tasks
  • Team: distribution by project and member (admin permission required)

Reports

Performance reports can include time-log-based metrics (optional). See Performance Reports.

  • Timers can be inaccurate with frequent context switching; prefer them for clearly bounded work.
  • Use the meetings feature for meeting time; it's recorded more accurately there.
