Work estimation without story points using T-shirt sizes as a custom field, time estimates vs actuals via tracking and throughput counting. No Fibonacci debate.
Why teams stop tracking time comes down to three friction points: context switching, manual entry and no visible payoff. Built-in tracking fixes all three.
Time tracking workflow visibility helps non-billing teams spot time sinks, understand which phases eat hours and make capacity decisions based on data.
Use per-project time tracking with project groups to track retainer hours. Set up a project per retainer period, log hours and review totals via time reports.
Scope creep shows up as a slow drift between estimated and tracked hours. Compare time logged per deliverable against estimates weekly to spot overruns early.
Bad estimates come from guessing. Review historical hours per issue type, build baseline ranges and adjust for scope. A time tracking project estimation method.
Time tracking alerts, flexible manual entry, easier issue completion, global issue URLs and improved draft saving.
