Choosing a Project Time Tracker
by Olga Belokurskaya
Project time tracker is a very effective and essential part of any successful business; however, to get the most out of it, a company should make the right choice from a variety of offerings. The right choice means that the project time tracker suits company’s goals and possibilities the best. There are a number of factors to pay special attention to, in order to avoid an inappropriate purchase.
- Usability. Good usability leads to faster adoption of a project time tracker, while poor usability may result in strong resistance and the need to look for another solution (which means additional expenses and wasted time).
- Functionality. Here the major features and functionality a project time tracker provides should be analyzed and compared to company’s requirements. Often, large companies have more requirements and demand for wider set of features than SMBs.
Possibilities for support and maintenance, including various updates, add ons, etc.
Compatibility. There should be a possibility to integrate a project time tracker with other company’s systems, as the data, provided by the tool, may be used by different departments (HR, accounting, etc.)
