Tracking how your team spends their time can have a wide range of positive impacts on the organization and its employees. But the idea of time tracking and providing estimates likely has many negative connotations for your workforce. Some view time tracking as a way of micromanaging or holding team members firmly to their initial estimates. Some may consider this a lack of trust, where leadership needs to watch their every move.
