Individual work activities

Work activities define types of tasks for precise time tracking and flexible, useful resource recording.

The Administration → Workspace settings → Task settings → Work Activities section lets you align time entries in Leadtime precisely with the work performed in your company.

Each activity describes a type of work, such as development, management, or testing, and helps you track resource use transparently throughout a project.

Purpose

Work activities are used in time tracking to assign recorded hours to a clearly defined activity.

In addition to the standard activities, you can create your own or adapt existing activities to reflect your company’s internal processes accurately.

Benefits

• Transparent time tracking: Every entry is assigned to a clear activity, making reports easy to understand.
• Flexible customization: Companies can add activities that represent specific processes or roles.
• Better reporting: Time reports show exactly which types of work account for the effort.

Standard activities

Leadtime includes several predefined activities:

• Development: Time spent on programming, implementation, or technical work.
• Testing: Quality assurance activities.
• Management: Project management, communication, and coordination.
• Research: Preparatory or analytical work.

You can extend or replace them to record company-specific work more precisely.
