Help w/ time tracking / monitoring workload

Hi there,

Try to adapt custom fields in Asana or consider integration with Everhour.

  • project = period (lets say a week)
  • section/column = employee
  • estimate = time per task for this week

1 - Use estimates in Asana

Keep adding tasks and you’ll see everyone’s weekly total. If, say, the total goes beyond the standard 40 hours, there is a high chance that the person is overbooked. The downside of this approach is that the same task can stretch over several weeks and you’d like to compare original estimate with the time spent, rather then update it weekly for capacity planning.

2 - Use Schedule feature in Everhour

Create assignments and specify who, when and for how long will work on a particular task. The app will prompt you if the planned time is beyond the capacity of the employee. In addition, in the future you will be able to analyze original estimate vs. the actual spent.
