Timesheets/Time-tracking enabled. Now what?

Hi everyone-

 

I am looking for some resources, thinking, conversation, training etc for what to do now that timesheets/time tracking is enabled for my team. How can I make the most of this data via reports or dashboards?

 

Ideally I’d love to understand how often we’re going over or under hours, which task types are often the most culprits?  What are people spending time on?

 

I am a WF admin team of one, and the timesheets was requested to be enabled by my BU. That was all fine to figure out, but now that we are collecting this data, I feel a little lost how to get the most value of it.

 

Thanks in advance!

Hi ​@HannahSc8 ,

One suggestion -- We created a simple custom field called “Remaining Hours”, which is Planned Hours minus Actual Hours.  We added that field to a custom form that is attached to all tasks.  That gives the ability to track where you’re going over/under planned hours when the task is complete, but we also use it to track when we’re getting close to using all of our planned hours.  (ex: Remaining Hours are < 10% of Planned Hours)

 

At first, we were just calculating the delta between plan & actual using a valueexpression in reports.  However, by setting it up as a custom field, you can use it in charts and groupings, and it became a lot more useful for us.
