Timesheet

Traditionally a sheet of paper with the data arranged in tabular format, a timesheet is now often a digital document or spreadsheet.

This information may be used for payroll, client billing, and increasingly for project costing, estimation, tracking, and management.

This knowledge can drive corporate strategy as users stop performing or reassign unprofitable work.

Time tracking can increase revenue through automating billing, which tends to make it easier for a company to get correct invoices out for all hours worked by consulting staff.

Machine learning is being used to automatically find patterns in timesheet — then using this information to recommend more accurate project plans in the future.
