Time Management by Estimate, Actual, Remain and Deviation
Today's world is so fast that people cannot do their job effectively without time management. Managing time means setting the shortest time for each smallest unit of work, so that an individual will complete right tasks within the allocated time period and with no delay. For example, when you need to make 100 phone calls a day, your primary time management goal is to estimate the shortest time you need to make one phone call, then get the overall duration for all phone calls, consider lunch and coffee breaks, and allocate the total required amount of working hours in your daily schedule.
Estimate, Actual, Remain for Tasks
Time management software helps you estimate and allocate your working time. In CentriQS app you can use the Estimate field to set estimated completion time for your tasks. There is also the Actual field in which you can enter actual time spent on doing the tasks. To keep track of how much time remains available, use the Remain field.
Time Deviation and Task Analytics
CentriQS lets you figure out how efficient your time is scheduled, with help of the Deviation field. In case there is a negative time deviation your time management effort tends to be less efficient (your tasks have been delayed or underestimated). And if it is positive then most likely you overestimate the job. Ideally there should be zero deviation for your tasks. The Task Analytics view will help you analyze time deviations and compare Estimate vs Actual vs Remain.
Task Reporting and Charts
Reporting procedure lets decision makers gain clear insight into task performance and understand why an activity is complete or incomplete to date. By generating and visualizing analytical reports in task management software you can keep track of how your teams have worked on in the past week, month, quarter or year.
Task Report Building
CentriQS task management software features analytics views that allow you to report on tasks' data in pivot tables and charts. By means of this powerful report-building functionality you can easily create eye-catching reports that are data-rich and informative. The functionality uses OLAP cubes to generate almost unlimited number of reports that can be printed out and also converted into file formats (XLS, HTML, PDF, etc.) that are familiar to your target audience. For greater convenience and speed at work, CentriQS lets you save your report templates into presets that you can share out to other users to ensure consistency across everyone's reports.
Charts for Task Data Visualization
Advanced charts and diagrams in CentriQS will help you visualize tasks and related data. In the Task Analytics chart view you can set layouts to define how your diagrams will look like and what data to visualize. For example, you can build a chart that compares Estimate time and Actual time and shows cost per task measure.
