Procrastination may become a system
Let's imagine that you need to back up the information on your computer each week. If you forget to do it once, it doesn't matter. But when some virus attacks your PC and backup copy wasn't created for a long time, the losses can be great. If you regularly tracked your To Do List, you'd discover that this task was ignored for a long time. Overview of your regular tasks and their statuses will give you a warning that some of them are put off too often.

CentriQS Tracking Tasks Solution Task Time Tracking in CentriQS is very flexible. Users can track time they spend on tasks both manually by entering actual/remaining task duration or adding time logs and automatically by using task timer that adds time logs when you pause or stop it. Task property "Deviation" informs users whether they are "On Schedule", "Ahead of Schedule" or "Behind Schedule" by calculating the difference between "Estimate" and "Actual+Remain". |
