Time tracking
Start/stop timer right on the task, retroactive manual entry, automatic split by project and client. Compare estimated vs. actual hours and adjust planning for the next sprint.

Tracking & reporting — time tracking, dashboards, automated exports
Measure real progress instead of guessing. Per-task time tracking, dashboards for blockers and KPIs, automated stakeholder reports in PDF, Excel, or via API.
Without hard data every project looks "almost done." 4myprojects collects hours worked, task status, and team velocity in one place — and turns them into dashboards that show where you actually stand. Schedule reports to stakeholders weekly or pull data straight into Excel.
Real data, not impressions
Project dashboards
Progress view, active blockers, team velocity, and KPIs at project or portfolio level. Configurable widgets per role — managers see burn rate, the team sees the sprint board.
Reports & export
Scheduled reports auto-emailed in PDF or Excel, custom report schemas, direct data access via REST API. Connect to Power BI, Looker, or Google Sheets.
How to measure progress in 4myprojects
Track time on the task
Start the timer right from the task or add hours retroactively. Time splits automatically by project and client for billing and analysis.
Configure the dashboard
Add widgets per role — burn rate and budget for managers, sprint board and velocity for the team. Data updates in real time.
Schedule the reports
Set a recurring report in PDF or Excel auto-emailed to stakeholders, or expose the data via REST API to Power BI, Looker, or Google Sheets.
Pros
- Native per-task time tracking, included — no add-on or higher plan.
- Real-time dashboards, configurable per role (manager vs. team).
- Scheduled reports auto-emailed in PDF or Excel.
- Direct data access via REST API and connection to Power BI, Looker, Google Sheets.
Cons
- Complex custom reports may require exporting to Power BI/Looker — the built-in builder covers standard reporting, not advanced BI modeling.
- No financial forecasting beyond burn rate and budget vs. actual.
- Dashboards over a very large portfolio may need filtering for optimal performance.
Bottom line
A good fit for teams that want real time measurement and automated reports without a separate BI tool. Less suited if you need advanced financial modeling or fully custom BI dashboards — there you export to Power BI/Looker.

Frequently asked questions
Is time tracking included or an add-on?
It is native and included on paid plans. Start the timer directly from the task or add hours retroactively, without a separate plugin like Jira or Asana.
Can I send automated reports to stakeholders?
Yes. You configure scheduled reports in PDF or Excel that are auto-emailed, weekly or at the interval you choose.
How do I get data into Power BI or Excel?
Export directly to Excel or use the REST API to feed Power BI, Looker, or Google Sheets with live data.
Can I build complex custom reports?
The built-in builder covers standard project and portfolio reporting. For advanced BI modeling or highly custom visuals, you export the data to Power BI or Looker.
What do managers and the team see differently on the dashboard?
Dashboards have role-configurable widgets: managers see burn rate and budget, while the team sees the sprint board and velocity, on the same real-time data.
