Solving time tracking challenges with project-level approvals in Timesheets

Time tracking should be a tool for clarity, not a source of frustration. However, many teams struggle with unclear accountability and wasting time trying to review entries that lack context.

Frustrating issues – but there is a solution.

Enter Tempo projects: The latest Timesheets feature that enables project-level time approvals to make these challenges a thing of the past.

What does it do?

Tempo projects allows you to take any of your issues, subtasks in a Jira filter, structures, projects, or epics and roll them up into a trackable scope. From there, it takes all your work included in that scope and bundles it up into “project time” that spans across teams and departments.

That enables you to view and approve work in a way that directly ties it to overall project goals. Additionally, you can set specific approvers for each of your projects so the person who should know gets to approve what happened on each project.

We developed this feature to hopefully put an end to ambiguity in ownership for approval responsibilities and provide leaders with the big picture context for all assessing how time is spent.

Benefits beyond approvals

  • Project managers: Gain control and visibility over time allocation to stay aligned with goals.

  • Finance teams: Improve forecasting and billing with accurate, project-level time data.

  • Team members: Get clear, actionable feedback on their contributions to project success.

Don’t let fragmented approvals and missed insights hold your team back. Upgrade your time tracking game with projects and turn logged project hours into actionable insights.

Question - In our implementation Tempo Timesheets we basically have 98% of our company not submitting timesheets or requiring approvals. In Service Now which we transitioned from, there was and Auto Approval process, which Tempo doesn't seem to have. The only groups that require approvals are the two Contractor groups we have setup. A very small percentage that actually submit timesheets and get them approved. 

Looking at this feature it really seems to be geared around Timesheet approvals and since most here don't physically submit, they track time. This doesn't seem like a feature that i would be able to really use????
