From time to time I try
to track my productivity to get a clue what tasks my work time is spent on.
Project Manager usually has a lot to do during the business day and sometimes
analysis of the workload is good to avoid non-management activities. You know
what I mean... Not to forget delegating tasks that are not inherent in PM's
schedule like operational routine.
I decided to do
this after I caught myself updating some manual for a new version of some
software instead of diving into a scope planning of the delayed but vital
project.
As my Company requires
the employees to report their tasks daily in a special time-tracking system it
was not a big deal to retrieve data and visualize my recent week in a pie
chart. And here is what I got:
To have better understanding of my tasks I also use a free time-capture tool RescueTime that lets
me keep track of the time I spend on various activities, so I can have an
accurate idea of where my day goes :).
