"I really like the way you can access your work items from within Outlook. I like the way you can bring up the full work item forms, make edits, and save immediately to TFS. It was great to create new meeting requests or mail messages from the work items."

Lori Lamkin

"These types of products are important to the industry."

Joel Semeniuk
CEO and co-founder of ImagiNET Resources Corp.

"I know of a good number of companies that will love having something like this - getting their timesheet management into TFS (so it can be reported on, especially) will make life a lot easier for them."

James Manning

"I like the idea of being able to link work items to e-mails and meetings. I also like that it provides non-technical information workers the option of working with TFS in a more familiar environment. Congratulations to TeamExpand on the release!"

Jason Barile

Choosing a Project Time Tracker

February 18th, 2010
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.)
