  • Why Combine Project Management and Time Tracking

    Switching between tools kills productivity and creates data gaps

    See actual time vs estimates immediately

    Compare original estimates to actual time spent without switching tools or building custom reports. Spot scope creep early, adjust staffing before it's too late, improve future estimates based on real data.

    Keep project budgets and time in sync

    Project budget updates automatically as team tracks time. No manual calculations, no waiting for reports to update, no surprises at month-end. Budget alerts trigger based on actual tracked time, not estimates.

    Track billable vs non-billable instantly

    See which tasks are billable, which aren't, and what that means for project profitability—all in real-time. Generate accurate client invoices directly from tracked time without reconciling multiple systems.

    Mix internal and external projects freely

    Some projects sync from Asana or ClickUp, others created directly in Everhour as internal projects. Track time across all projects in one place—whether external client work or internal operations. Perfect for teams who need PM tools AND simple time tracking for non-PM activities.

    Questions? We have answers

    Common questions about project management in Everhour

    What's the difference between internal and external projects?

    Internal projects are created directly in Everhour with tasks managed entirely within Everhour. External projects sync from your PM tools (Asana, Jira, ClickUp, Monday) with two-way task synchronization. You can mix both types freely in one workspace.

    Can I use Everhour with only internal projects?

    Yes, many teams use Everhour with only internal projects—no PM tool integrations needed. Create projects, add tasks, set estimates, track time, and manage budgets entirely within Everhour. Perfect for simple time tracking needs.

    Can I mix internal and external projects?

    Absolutely. This is one of Everhour's key strengths. Have external projects synced from Asana for client work, while internal projects in Everhour track operations, admin time, or team members who don't use PM tools. All time tracked together.

    Who should use internal vs external projects?

    Use external projects when your team actively works in Asana, Jira, or ClickUp and needs two-way sync. Use internal projects for team members without PM tool access (HR, accounting, contractors), internal operations, or when you want simple time tracking without PM tool complexity.

    How does task syncing work with PM tools?

    Everhour imports projects, tasks, and task attributes from your connected PM tool (Asana, Jira, ClickUp, Monday) as external projects. Tasks and updates sync from your PM tool to Everhour. Time tracking data stays only in Everhour—we don't sync time back to PM tools.

    What billing methods are supported?

    Everhour supports three billing methods: Fixed-fee (set price regardless of hours), Time & Materials with project rate (one hourly rate for entire project), and Time & Materials with member rates (different rates per team member). You can also set custom rates per task.

    Can I set project budgets in Everhour?

    Yes, set budgets in hours or money for both internal and external projects. Configure automatic email alerts at custom thresholds (e.g., 75%, 90%, 100%). Enable budget protection mode to auto-stop timers and prevent logging when budget is exceeded.

    How do task estimates work?

    Add time estimates to any task when creating or editing it. View estimated vs actual time on task details, project summaries, and reports. Use historical estimate accuracy to improve future project planning.

    Can I copy projects to reuse them?

    Yes, duplicate any internal project with all tasks, sections, estimates, and settings intact. Perfect for recurring project types or starting similar projects. Create project templates for your common workflows.

    How do I track project profitability?

    View project profitability on the Project Summary dashboard for both internal and external projects. See total revenue (based on billing rates), compare to budget, and track billable vs non-billable time. Generate profitability reports across all projects.
