I have a question regarding time tracking

[Antun Štefančić]

As I understand you can only log hours on particular issues inside a project, but there is no way of seeing the total amount of hours someone worked in a month for example. And as I further understand I would need to get an add-on to do so? So what would be the best add-on's to recommend for keeping track of working hours and all what goes with it ( labor cost, reports etc.)

Hi, @Antun Štefančić.  You are right.  In fact everything about Jira is oriented around project management. It's both a blessing and a curse, IMO.  (More of a blessing though.)

What you are describing fall broadly under the heading of Project Portfolio Management (PPM), and specifically around time tracking and reporting that supports a PPM approach.

Others have already shared specific recommendations, but everyone's needs are different. (You and I probably drive different cars because we have different needs and different tastes.)

So, rather than tell you which PMM time tracking solution to use I'd rather show you how to search for one:

Replace my example search (the red circle and arrows) with your own criteria, as you see fit.

Hope this helps,

Hi @Antun Štefančić 

I want to offer you a tool for tracking costs and generating quality reports. With it, you can use the default Jira time tracker.

To track costs and generate reports, you can use an add-on such as Cost Traker for Jira Cloud, developed by my team. 

This app allows you to track time and expenses for issues, team, projects, sprint, versions, etc.

It also provides detailed reports on time spent, expenses, and labor costs.

Example of report:

Hi @Antun Štefančić ! :)

You can try Planyway plugin for tracking working hours monthly/weekly/daily. There you will be able to check tracked time via reports. Although Planyway has no labour costs calculator and budgets, it is perfect for resource planning and workflow management, checking workloads by team members, and getting a detailed overview of your team's time. Btw, it's free for teams of up to 10 members.

Hi @Antun Štefančić 

you might consider using time tracking apps that in most cases have a customizable report of tracked time on issues.

I can recommend our Clockwork Automated Time Tracking & Timesheets Free app, which offers you the possibility to create timesheets and reports that can be configured in various ways using break-down, and filtering options. It also allows you to export the data to excel files. Please find below the sample of how the timesheet looks like:

Feel free to install the app and contact us. We are happy to help you with the configuration.

Best Regards,

Gracjan

Hi @Antun Štefančić 

Welcome to the community!

There are some apps that you can use to achieve this goal:

Sum-up for JIRA 

Timesheet Reports and Gadgets 

Those gadgets can display the sum of the issues, Original estimate and Time Spent, or even the same details for each issue and also they are completely customizable, so you can hide or display columns (fields) as you want.
