Project management slack (float) is a time period during which a task can be postponed without causing a delay to subsequent tasks and completion date. This simple definition allows making the following important conclusions:
- In a project there is a permissible amount of time for each task when a performer can postpone this task without negative consequences.
- There is always a need to plan for time in order to reduce the probability of task procrastination.
- Project management slackers (those performers who make a delay which is not longer than a permissible PM example) should use PM software to efficiently keep track of delays and report on performance.

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". |
