Why ETC

Turn time estimates into
real project control

ETC bridges the gap between what was planned and what's actually happening — so PMs and team leads can act before problems become crises.

Update ETC at the right cadence
A consistent update rhythm separates a realistic forecast from a stale plan.

How it works

From allocation to forecast
in three steps

ETC Reporting

Simple reporting every employee can do

ETC reporting lives in TimeLog's personal reports view. No training needed — just open the report and enter the remaining estimate.

Project progress & budgets

Powerful budget actions
built into the project view

From the project overview, trigger budget alignment actions without leaving the screen. ETC, EAC, and allocations always in agreement.

 Resource Planner

Keep capacity planning perfectly in sync 

When allocations increase, the Resource Planner needs to know. One function keeps everything aligned. From the project overview, trigger budget alignment actions without leaving the screen. ETC, EAC, and allocations always in agreement.

  • Automatic redistribution

"Distribute unplanned work" spreads extra allocated hours across the timeline correctly.

  • Live capacity data

See who's over-allocated or under-utilized the moment estimates change.
