Approach
•

Time tracking tools
• Despite budget restraints, modern, practical employee project management
software and time tracking tools must be incorporated in work environments
to gain knowledge and achieve improved resource performance. Online
MapleLeafProjects
allows automatic data classification and analysis to be
used for improved time management and productivity practices.
Time tracking tools
• Most project management and expense gathering applications require a
great deal of initial setup, maintenance and training. Even in a small
company, it is often recommended that a period of 3 days or more be set
aside for installation, deployment and training. In the case where an Excel
timesheet template is used, additional time is required to properly format the
excel timesheet, develop the training material and continually update the
information. In larger organizations, several files are required to keep the
process simple however; consolidating the information across multiple
departments and locations is labor-intensive.
