If you’re a project manager, you should consider using project portfolios. Standard Time® can help.

What’s a project portfolio?

Basically, just a collection of projects.

Want to see revenue for one collection of projects compared with another?

Want to compare estimated hours with actuals on an entire collection?

Project portfolios let you view collections as “black boxes” without regard to the actual projects inside. That’s a high level project management technique.

Get Standard Time now, and try project portfolios!

Hello CEO’s! I’m your online business coach, and I’m about to point out one of the most costly tasks you’re overlooking.

Ready?

PTO tracking and accrual.

You know… vacation, sick, and personal time for employees.

You burn hundreds of hours just managing everyone’s bank of hours, and how much they earn every month, just so they can take vacation.

Did you know Standard Time® does PTO accruals automatically?

And there’s a built-in employee timesheet too!

Hi! I’m a freelance consultant, and guess what I discovered!

The Standard Time® time tracking app.

I downloaded, and it wasn’t long before I had a few clients. They liked my weekly invoices, so I invited them to check project status any time. They’re using ProjectBot.

A few other freelancers joined me.

And a few more clients.

Thanks to Standard Time, I guess I’m no longer a freelancer.

Because I own the company!

Here’s where I got Standard Time: stdtime.com

Project Mgrs like Task Linking

Project managers like task linking. And they like using Standard Time® to do it.

Here’s why:

First off, some tasks just cannot start until others finish. Sort of like finishing the foundation and framing before installing a roof.

Project managers like task links because they reflect reality.

1. When tasks slip, schedules are bumped out
2. Emails inform team members of task status
3. Project completion dates become a little clearer

Click to try task linking in Standard Time.
