THE PROBLEM

Dev hours go untracked while HR and finance wait for the data.

Jira knows what shipped. It doesn’t know how long it took, what it cost, or what goes into payroll. That gap is what HR, finance, and project leads spend time reconstructing every month.

Performance insights

Adoption friction

Devs won't adopt a separate time tracking tool. If it's not in their existing workflow, it doesn't get used. The hours go unrecorded and HR and finance are left guessing.

client reports

Payroll source of truth

HR crosses spreadsheets, email threads, and project tools to assemble payroll every cycle. The data is never fully reliable and the process takes longer than it should.

One-Click Audit

Cost per sprint or project

PMs and finance know what shipped but not what it cost in hours. Without that data, project estimates stay disconnected from reality and margins stay invisible.

What Software Teams Need to Track

Six things HR, finance, and project leads depend on.

Dev teams don’t have a time tracking problem. They have a time data problem. The hours exist, but they never become structured data HR can run payroll on or finance can use to cost a project.

Tracking inside the dev workflow

Dev teams track work in Jira, Azure DevOps, Linear, and similar tools. TrackingTime integrates with those tools so hours are logged in context, without asking the team to open a separate app or break their workflow.

AutoTrack and browser extension

For teams that won’t fill in timesheets manually, AutoTrack detects active work and suggests time entries automatically. The browser extension tracks time directly inside the tools the team already uses.

Time by project, sprint, and client

Hours are attributed to the right project, sprint phase, or client engagement at the moment of capture. That attribution is what turns a log of hours into cost visibility for PMs and billable data for finance.

Cost rates by role and seniority

Senior engineers and junior developers work on the same project at different costs. Rate assignment by user, project, or task applies automatically and locks historical rates when costs change.

Approvals icon
Payroll-ready timesheets

HR gets structured timesheets by person and period, with approval workflows that validate hours before payroll closes. No manual cross-referencing across tools.

time off icon
PTO and time cards

Time off, holidays, and work schedules are tracked alongside project hours. HR manages PTO policies and time cards in the same system, with no separate tool required.

Time Data

One time layer that serves the dev team, HR, and finance.

How TrackingTime fits into your dev stack

Connect once. Let the team log hours from inside their dev tools while HR and finance get the data they need in real time.

Set up your project and client structure in TrackingTime, connect your dev tools, and define rates and payroll policies. From that point, the team logs hours from inside Jira, Azure DevOps, or the browser extension while HR, finance, and project leads get a live view of time, cost, and approval status across every engagement.

Rates, policies, and approval rules

Define billing rates by user, project, or task type. Set required fields for every time entry. Configure approval workflows so HR and finance validate hours before payroll or invoicing opens.

Track from inside the workflow

Give each person the entry method that fits how they work: browser extension, mobile app, web app, or AutoTrack suggestions. Hours are logged close to when the work happens, with required fields enforced at capture.

HR and finance get structured data

Timesheets are organized by person, project, and period. Approved hours are locked and exportable as a clean dataset. HR closes payroll from one source. Finance sees project costs in real time.

Built for software teams that need accurate time data across projects, sprints, and payroll cycles without changing how the dev team works.

BEFORE AND AFTER

Disconnected hours vs. structured time data.

See how software teams move from scattered time logs and manual payroll cross-referencing to a single source of accurate data for HR, finance, and project leads.

Before TrackingTime

  • Dev hours go unrecorded because the team has no tool that fits their workflow.
  • HR assembles payroll every cycle by crossing spreadsheets, project tools, and email threads.
  • PMs have no visibility into how many hours each project or sprint actually consumed.
  • Finance estimates project costs without reliable time data to work from.
  • Billing rates are applied manually, inconsistently, or not at all.

After TrackingTime

  • The team tracks hours from inside Jira, Azure DevOps, or the browser extension with no workflow change.
  • HR closes payroll from a single structured source, with hours already validated through an approval workflow.
  • PMs see real-time hours and cost per project, sprint, and client engagement.
  • Finance gets accurate cost data without waiting for end-of-month reconciliation.
  • Billing rates apply automatically by user, project, or task, and lock historically when costs change.

Replacing disconnected time logs with integrated tracking and approval workflows gives software teams accurate payroll data and project cost visibility without adding friction to the dev workflow.

Team Operations

Built around how software teams actually work.

From the first time entry to the final payroll export, TrackingTime fits into the workflow software teams already run. The dev team logs hours from their tools, while HR, finance, and project leads get real-time visibility into costs, approval status, and payroll data across every project and sprint.

Project and sprint cost visibility

Every tracked hour carries a rate, a project, and a person. PMs and finance see actual cost per sprint, project, and client engagement in real time without waiting for a manual report. When estimates run over, the data is there before the sprint closes, not after.

Payroll without the cross-referencing

HR gets structured timesheets by person and period, validated through an approval workflow before payroll opens. Approved hours are locked and exported as a clean dataset. No spreadsheet consolidation, no follow-up emails, no manual corrections at cycle close.

Plans that scale with the team

Most software teams start with Pro Plus for approval workflows, payroll-ready timesheets, and project cost visibility. As the team grows and IT requirements include SSO, audit logs, and compliance controls, Business adds the governance layer without changing the workflow the team already runs on.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Get answers to all your questions about our service and plans.

Which developer tools does TrackingTime integrate with?

TrackingTime integrates with Jira, GitHub, GitLab, Bitbucket, Azure DevOps, and Linear. The browser extension lets the team track time directly inside any of these tools without switching to a separate app. Tasks and issues sync automatically, and every tracked hour is attributed to the right project and sprint in TrackingTime.

Does TrackingTime work inside Microsoft Teams?

Yes. TrackingTime runs as an app inside Microsoft Teams, so the team can log and review time without leaving Teams. For organizations that also use Azure DevOps or Microsoft Planner, TrackingTime connects with both, keeping the full workflow inside the Microsoft ecosystem.

What if the dev team won’t use a separate time tracking tool?

TrackingTime is designed to work inside the tools the team already uses. The browser extension tracks time across Jira, GitHub, Azure DevOps, and 100+ other tools. AutoTrack detects active work and suggests time entries automatically, so manual input is minimal.

Can TrackingTime require fields before a time entry is saved?

Yes. TrackingTime’s policy engine lets you define which fields are required before an entry can be saved: project, task, description, or work type. This ensures every entry has the context HR and finance need without relying on the team to fill it in later.

Does TrackingTime support approval workflows for payroll?

Yes. TrackingTime’s approval workflow lets HR or managers review and approve timesheets by person and period before payroll closes. Approved entries are locked, timestamped, and exportable as a clean dataset with no manual reconciliation.

Can TrackingTime handle PTO and time off alongside project hours?

Yes. Time off, holidays, and work schedules are tracked in TrackingTime alongside project hours. HR manages PTO policies, accruals, and time cards in the same system, with no separate tool required.

Does TrackingTime require replacing our existing project management tool?

No. TrackingTime connects to your existing dev tools via integrations and adds the time, cost, and payroll layer on top. The dev team keeps working in Jira, Azure DevOps, or whatever PM tool they use. TrackingTime captures the hours and feeds the data to HR and finance.

Is TrackingTime employee monitoring software?

No. TrackingTime does not capture screenshots, keystrokes, or screen activity. People record their own time, and managers see what was logged and approved. This matters for software teams where autonomy and trust are part of the working culture.
