Operations and development projects

IT departments in larger companies must be able to handle regular operations, larger development projects and ad hoc tasks.

All tasks run simultaneously. This makes prioritizing, planning and budgeting for projects a challenge both in the short- and long-term.

Furthermore, the last few years have seen the internal IT departments become subject to a much larger work load- but budgets have stayed the same. This means that IT departments need to become better at utilizing the time of technicians and developers.

Achieve better results

TimeLog Project has various solutions that can help IT departments to deliver improved results with structure, documentation and prioritization.

With TimeLog Project, IT departments get:

• a simple and efficient tool for project management, where the creation of projects or tasks and the allocation of time to employees is fast and easy.
• simple and personalised time tracking.
• portfolio overview of all work in progress.

Tool for project managers

Frequently one or two project managers or coordinators in internal IT departments try to manage different tasks at once. With TimeLog Project they now get a tool where they can quickly create a project, allocate hours to selected employees- and keep abreast of the time consumption.

It becomes easier to delegate responsibility to project managers. And it becomes easier for project managers to react faster and better to budgets being exceeded or to deliveries where the schedule is slipping.

Simple and personalised time tracking

To optimize the IT department’s activities a clear picture of what time is spent on needs to be drawn. TimeLog Project has a simple and personal weekly timesheet, where employees in less than two minutes can register their time use directly from a web browser.

Reliable budgeting of operational tasks

Most people know that IT systems require maintenance. But few people are aware of the amount of time needed for operations and maintenance. Even fewer can estimate operations correctly when investments in new IT systems are made. With TimeLog Project the IT department gets an accurate tool for budgeting and registration of its’ time use.

Measurement of the department’s value and work load

TimeLog Project is built on a ABC-Model where it is possible to measure how much time various departments draw on each other. With the ABC-model it becomes clear who draws on the IT department, in which way and what the value is of the work delivered by the IT department.
