IT Departments
IT departments in large-scale companies are responsible for the daily operation, important development projects, and ad hoc tasks.
All tasks are done simultaneously, which makes prioritising, planning, and budgeting challenging in both the short and the long run.
Moreover, during the last couple of years internal IT departments have been pushed to deliver much more value – leaving the budgets behind. That means that IT departments have to be much better to make use of technicians and developers' time.
Achieve Better Results
TimeLog Project has a number of solutions that can improve your company's structure, documentation, and priorities, so the IT department can achieve better results.
TimeLog Project provides the IT department with:
- a simple and effective tool for project management, where you can create a project or a task swiftly and allocate time to employees.
- simple and personal time registration.
- portfolio overview of projects in progress.
- registration of small and large support tasks.
- a clear and precise overview of how much other departments draw on the IT department.
- effective project management.
Tools for Project Managers
Internal IT departments often have one or more project managers or coordinators who try to manage the many projects and tasks. TimeLog Project provides project managers with tools that enable them to create new projects swiftly and allocate hours to employees assigned to solve certain tasks – and keep track of time expenditure on an ongoing basis.
It becomes easier to delegate responsibility to project managers. And it becomes easier for the project managers to react sooner and better in cases of budget overruns or deliveries where the time scedule is slipping.
Simple and Personal Time Registration
To optimise the IT department's activities you need a clear picture of how time is to be spent. TimeLog Project includes a simple and personal weekly timesheet in which employees can register time directly from a web browser in less than two minutes.
Budgeting of Operational Tasks
Most people know that IT systems require operation and maintenance. But the fewest people know how much time it requires. Even less people are capable of estimating the operation correctly when investing in new IT systems. TimeLog Project provides the IT department with a useful tool for budgetting and time management.
Determine Company Value and Workload
TimeLog Project is based on a so-called ABC model, where you can measure how much different departments draw on each other. The ABC model provides a clear picture of employees involved in – and reasons for the IT department's workload, as well as an illustration of the value the IT department delivers.
