In a typical organizaion, employees juggle various projects at one time. So "scrum meetings" or "5-minute meetings" keep everyone on the tab; but what happens if the team is scattered or travelling most of the time? Team leads or project managers are not aware of what exactly is going on with a particular employee or even at team level the deliverable are sometimes vague. This leads to delay in project schedules, lack of communication, distrust, unrealistic expectations and undue stress on the employees.
But if everyone logs onto the same platform and application to enter the timecards and status reports, the tranparency flows freely across the teams and breaks all the barriers of the boundaries. No matter where you are or where your team is, keep track of the deliverable, tasks and resource allocation.
The indirect benefit that that one of our clients has received by using TimeMerlin is that the employee engagement has tremendously increased and employees stay motivated. We were not at all expecting this as a testimonial when we contacted them last week.
Bruce Rollingstone says "I open the status reports of the team members and get detailed description of the direction my project is going. I know what they did yesterday so I can congratulate them on their achievement or alternatively discuss the issues they had faced. My team is now so involved in the project because that nagging of asking again and again about the deliverable is gone. They feel proud to list their achievements and feel encouraged when issues are discussed. There is simply no waiting time, everything happens in the real-time."
