Are there any effective alternatives to time tracking?
We are a small team of product developers & consultants. We used to log time for our work but we generally saw the inefficiency of it. We noticed there was too much of an overhead. A decision was made to stop logging hours and the team was thrilled. The consultants still log hours corresponding to the work with different clients but the product team does not.
Instead of logging hours, the product team started using story points and the velocity in a given sprint. But without the logged time, we lose track of how many hours the scrum team spends on each project. For example, how much time was spent on support versus how much time was spent on product features.
How do you track the work spent per project? Do you know another way to track how much work was spent on a project without logging hours?
We have an idea how to automatically track the distribution of resources, so stay tuned for an update!
