Hi I`m working with an IT company and currently try to improve upon the TIME Sheet utility system.
We all know that for accurate EFFORT ESTIMATION for the Project execution, historical data on effort for various broad activity/phase of the project is sort of boon for the Project manager.I want to know, what`s the system in your company/Experience:
1) To capture/archive, the effort spent on different phase of the project?
2) To map the planned effort (that usually goes and maintained in terms of Number of Consultants, Lead consultants, developers, Principal consultants etc required on the project on different phase of the project) with the actual effort( in terms of different phases/broad activities of the project)
3) If there is TIME SHEET entry for every employee, then how do you track, actual effort put by employee on an activity element
4) To calculate actual effort utilization( Billable) for the project
I know my request is lengthy but i guess i made myself clear. If any of you have any idea/detail on these subject, please mail me at
