What is a project tracker?

Simply put, a project tracker represents a bird’s eye view of all projects and their progress. It gives you and your team the necessary details about each project’s health in terms of the task statuses, upcoming milestones, remaining budget, and available resources. So you can tackle even the most difficult projects, in parallel, at the same time.

The benefits of a project tracker

No matter how versed you are in project management, you only have so many hours in a day. Unburden yourself and use an online project tracker to:

Compare the actual worked hours against the estimated budget to track project progress
Identify red flags such as missed deadlines, increasing costs, and scope creep before it’s too late
Schedule resources efficiently without overlapping duties and burnout
Increase transparency about the project status for every stakeholder involved

Why choose Paymo as the best project tracker

Monitor project progress

If you can’t measure it, you can’t improve it. The Projects Table View reunites all projects in a tabular format (much like in Excel), giving you the right project insights at any moment, including time spent from the initial project budget. You decide what details to include or hide.

For more granularity, click on a project to access the project dashboard. Here you can get details about the project’s health in terms of completed tasks, unbilled AR, and upcoming milestones.

Spot bottlenecks early on

Projects don’t just go sideways over night. Identify red flags early on with the help of Kanban boards. Customize your own workflows with different project stages. Then view them in a Meta Kanban Board to find out which tasks are keeping you on hold.

You can also nail deadlines more accurately with the help of the Meta Calendar, where tasks from all projects are visible on a common calendar. Including recurring ones, so you won’t be caught off guard anymore.

Update all stakeholders

Without receiving project updates on a daily basis, clients lose faith immediately. Regain their trust with Gantt Charts, visual project timelines exportable into PDF/PNG format. Afterall, an image is worth a thousand words.

Then help yourself too with the Portfolio Gantt Chart, which offers you a big picture of all project timelines in a single screen. Use it to maintain a balanced project pipeline and know whether you have enough capacity to take on new projects.

Allocate the right resources

Without knowing who works on what, when, and for how long, you’re bound to manage projects blindfolded. Rely on Paymo’s simple resource scheduler to bring team workloads, availabilities, and days off on a visual timeline.

Bookings are auto-generated, turn them into real ones in just a few clicks. Multiple managers can also collaborate on user or project schedules, with changes being made in real-time for better decision making.
