Why generic time tracking frustrates development teams
Developers tend to resist time tracking tools built for generic office work, and reasonably so — a tool that interrupts deep focus to ask “what are you working on” every 20 minutes, or that can’t distinguish billable client work from internal sprint tasks, adds friction without adding value to the actual job.
StaffTiming’s tracking integrates with task management (including two-way Asana/Trello sync) so developers track time against the same tickets they’re already working from, and reporting separates billable client hours from internal sprint capacity automatically — useful for both client invoicing and honest sprint capacity planning.
Everything this covers
Ticket-level time tracking
Time tracked directly against the same tasks/tickets already in your workflow.
Billable vs. internal hour separation
Automatic distinction between client-billable work and internal sprint tasks.
Sprint capacity reporting
See actual team capacity used per sprint, informing better planning.
Asana & Trello sync
Two-way sync means no duplicate tracking in a separate tool.
Low-friction tracking
One-click timers designed to minimize interruption to focused work.
Client billing integration
Billable hours flow directly into client invoicing without manual reconciliation.

Why teams choose this over the alternative
Fits existing dev workflows
Syncs with tools developers already use rather than forcing a new one.
Separates billable from internal work automatically
No manual categorization needed at time-entry.
Informs real sprint planning
Capacity reporting reflects actual tracked time, not estimated velocity alone.
Minimal interruption by design
Built to respect focused work, not fragment it with constant prompts.
Time tracking that fits a sprint
- Track at ticket or task levelDevelopers start a timer on the task they are already working on — directly, or via the Asana and Trello integrations.
- Separate billable from internalClient features, bug fixes under warranty, internal tooling and meetings are tagged differently.
- Compare estimates with actualsAt sprint review, see where estimates were off and why.
- Plan the next sprint on real capacityUse actual focus hours per developer rather than a theoretical 40.
Sprint capacity: a worked example
| Item | Hours per developer (2-week sprint) |
|---|---|
| Contracted hours | 80 |
| Ceremonies (planning, stand-ups, review, retro) | −10 |
| Code review and support rotation | −12 |
| Leave or holidays this sprint | −8 |
| Available focus hours | 50 |
A team of five therefore has about 250 focus hours, not 400. Teams that plan against the contracted number overcommit by design. Tracked time turns these deductions from guesses into data.
Billable vs internal hours
| Category | Billable to client? | Examples |
|---|---|---|
| Client feature work | Yes | New features, agreed change requests |
| Client support | Depends on contract | Bug fixes, incident response |
| Internal product work | No | Tooling, refactoring, internal apps |
| Overhead | No | Hiring interviews, training, company meetings |

Common questions
Does this replace Jira or our existing sprint tool?
No — it’s designed to integrate alongside project tools via Asana/Trello sync; direct Jira integration can be evaluated based on demand.
How does billable vs. non-billable get determined?
Configured per project or client — tasks tagged to a billable client project track separately from internal/R&D work automatically.
Can this track time across multiple client projects for a consulting-style dev team?
Yes — per-project and per-client tracking supports teams billing multiple clients simultaneously.
Is there a lightweight mode for developers who just want a simple timer?
Yes — the core timer experience is intentionally simple; task-level detail and reporting sit on top without being required for basic tracking.
Will developers accept time tracking?
They usually do when tracking is low-friction, tied to tasks they already use, and used for planning rather than judging individuals. Monitoring features can stay switched off.
Can we track time per client for an outsourced development team?
Yes. Time is tracked per client project, separating billable and internal hours for invoicing.
Does time tracking help with estimates?
Yes. Comparing estimated and actual hours per task over several sprints is the most reliable way to improve estimates.
