In times of remote activities, companies increasingly need to find ways to manage the activities that are carried out by their work teams. On the other hand, the execution of remote work for employees can generate better quality of life allowing greater ease to point out the activities performed.
One way to carry out this large-scale control, which is already being used by many companies, is the use of Time frame.
In this article, we will present the features of the schedule, its main benefits and how it can help you work better.
How does the Hours Chart work ?
The framework of hours is a native tool of Project Online, which aims to allow the appointment of hours worked by professionals and their approvals by their managers.
Initially, it is necessary to appoint an hour frame manager who will be responsible for approving the schedule of hours that will be sent by each employee of the company.
The Professional will point out the hours normally worked in the Project, informing the work that has already been done.
After the note, the collaborator must publish the project so that the changes are also published in PWA. Then he must submit the schedule of hours for approval.
To check if the frame was created correctly, just access PWA and click the Manage Hourboard link. The screen will be displayed with all the frames of hours that were pointed out in the previous weeks, where the collaborator can check the period, total hours and the status of the frame:
In this example, we selected the table of the week from 15.03 to 21.03 and we can verify the appointment of the hours and their respective activities:
The professional should consult to see if the hours indicated are correct. If correct, the contributor should select the option to “Delivery the Final Time Frame”:
And what are the benefits of using the Hours Chart?
There are numerous benefits that we can list, both for the manager responsible for monitoring the activities and for the professionals responsible for performing the activities.
First, we will address the main benefits to the contributor:
- Improved control of the activities to be performed;
- Support for time management and activity control;
- Better organisation and planning of activities;
We can consider that with the benefits mentioned above, the collaboration will be able to better plan the execution of the activities foreseen in the projects that will act.
On the other hand, we can also mention some benefits for managers and managers of the areas:
- control and monitoring of activities carried out by employees;
- Better visualization of resource availability;
- Greater efficiency for managing the hours used in projects;
- analysis of the time shift provided for in the project;
- Improvement in project planning;
The use of the framework of hours allows better visualization of the hours consumed in the projects and facilitates the work of monitoring the activities for managers of the areas.
