Why time tracking is beneficial for the software team too?

You’d probably have had some trouble with teams that were forced to track their working time by some kind of management. The usual set of fears contains smth like:

— they want me to work more, while I’m already overpressed

— they will force me to change the way I work, but it’s not smth I’m ready to do

and many others, where «they» are usually IT and business managers.

Well, tbh, to track time is also a way to protect your team, because:

— it brings a clear understanding of how much effort your team does to every stakeholder

— it gives additional arguments in discussion about re-prioritization as an evil way to manage software team (just log the real amount of time you’ve spent on switching between tasks)

— it makes the team able to see the gaps and prioritize technical improvements

No more fears, just give it a try. For example, use Tempo Software‘s best in class Tempo Timesheets and start making informed decisions today!
