Previously at my job we didn't track task time, but that has changed. We don't bill hourly, but per project & we have a project management system. However, now we are required to track time per task, our internal morale has fallen through the floor. Is it a good idea to track time if we aren't billing hourly, or is there a method to track time without destroying internal morale?
I’ve been tracking time for years. I estimate how long the task should take, then add time taken as I proceed. Very useful for future estimation. Definitely helps for project management and billing. I don’t recommend doing it in 5 minute steps as that gets tiresome. But 15 minute blocks seem to work out well.
