Project Insights

Analyzes project times, tasks and user activities in Leadtime. Display as a time series or overall view with flexible filters and diagrams.

The Project Insights area in Leadtime enables detailed analysis of working times and activities across projects. It helps you make developments over time visible, spot bottlenecks and make well-founded decisions about resources and priorities. Here companies can track how many hours are spent on projects, tasks or users – across days, weeks or months.

Application and benefits

With Project Insights you can give well-founded answers to operational and strategic questions – such as:

• How is the effort in the team distributed over time?
• Which project types tie up the most resources?
• Where do the hours consumed rise or fall significantly?
• Which employees work the hardest in certain phases?

These insights enable predictive management of projects and resources.
