Discover how to use ProjectToolBelt to manage internal projects.
Team members can track time spent on non-project-related activities using internal projects. These tasks can be compliance work or things you do every day, like check your email or go to a meeting. You can also use internal projects to manage your company's R&D or to develop a new product.
With ProjectToolBelt, you may work on internal projects and obtain a thorough breakdown of the time spent on each one. Internal projects cost money, but they don't make money because of your employees' salaries. The tracked time is automatically added to the costs of doing business.
In ProjectToolBelt, you create internal customers and not Internal Projects.
When adding a customer, you will have the option to define it as an internal customer.
All projects added to these internal customers will be considered as internal projects.
How do Internal projects work?
A project you are working on for your company is no different from the one you are working on for a client.
A few differences between an internal project and a client project
1) Profit is not calculated for internal projects.
2) Invoices are not generated for internal projects.
Profitability charts and numbers are not available for internal projects
You can easily add tasks and put different teams in charge of various internal projects. You can also keep track of the time spent on internal projects. The cost of working on these projects will go straight to the overhead. Employees can keep track of how much time they spend on internal projects just like they do with projects for clients. This is essential for monitoring the workload, productivity, and time spent on internal projects and provides a more comprehensive cost report.
