Individual work activities

Work activities define types of tasks for precise time tracking and flexible, useful resource recording.

The section Administration → Workspace settings → Task settings → Work Activities helps you tailor time entries in Leadtime to match what’s really done in your company.

Each activity describes a type of work (e.g. development, management or testing) and makes it easy to track resource use as your project goes on.


Purpose

Work activities are used in time tracking to assign booked hours to a well-defined task.

On top of the standard activities, you can add your own or tweak the existing ones so they fit your company’s internal workflows.

Advantages

  • Transparent time tracking: Every entry is linked to a clear activity — so reporting always makes sense.

  • Flexible adjustment: Companies can add more activities to match special processes or roles.

  • Better reports: Time reports show exactly where the effort is going.


Standard Activities

Leadtime already comes with some predefined activities:

  • Development: Time spent on programming, implementation or technical work.

  • Testing: Activities in the area of quality assurance.

  • Management: Project control, communication, coordination.

  • Research: Preparatory or analytical tasks.

You can extend or replace these to better capture company-specific work.
