Subject:TOOLS: Track Project Time with Time Stamp From:Charlie Ahern <charlie -dot- ahern -at- oracle -dot- com> To:"TECHWR-L" <techwr-l -at- lists -dot- raycomm -dot- com> Date:Mon, 22 Apr 2002 10:25:57 -0700
I've recently discovered a nice little Windows app that I use to track
actual hours spent on projects and other activities. It's called Time
Stamp. It has helped me do a better job of forecasting project
schedules.
You can create multiple files for several projects, calculate cumulative
project costs using a default hourly rate, and track slack time related
to a project. I'm still figuring out how I might apply some of its
features (Export to XML?), but I've found it to be a simple, useful
tool.
