CONCEPT
A tool born from
DENSO CREATE's continuous improvement activities
TimeTracker RX is a software/hardware design/sales tool for Time Management and project-management in knowledge/desk work such as Web production.
Key Feature Built around a strong focus on real project work
Most project management tools are designed primarily for managers.
TimeTracker RX, by contrast, is a tool that helps people in many different project roles make work visible and turn that visibility into improvement.
TimeTracker RX incorporates the results of continuous improvement practices developed through DENSO CREATE's experience in time tracking and project management for software development.
Because it was born and refined in real project environments, it includes practical ideas for supporting continuous improvement and making day-to-day project work better.
TimeTracker RX's three strengths
TimeTracker RX brings exceptionally responsive, easy-to-use operation to the web in a time tracking and project management tool. From entering work time to managing projects, users can complete the full range of day-to-day tasks in a browser.
- 01 Time Management Entering work time in a minute
Measure and analyze the “accurate facts” that drive improvement.
A time tracking tool designed for real project teams.
Labor is the primary cost in knowledge work, making accurate daily work-time records essential for understanding and improving costs.
TimeTracker RX makes time entry exceptionally quick and easy, helping teams adopt it as a sustainable daily practice.
- 02 Project Management Shaped by Trial and Error
in the Field
Keep the way your team already works.
Flexible planning and expressive views adapt to real project conditions
and support effective project management.
TimeTracker RX has been refined through practical ideas, feedback from project teams, and lessons learned from past failures.
Its flexible planning capabilities let teams keep their established ways of working.
Teams can build on the practices they have developed and achieve the project management approach their people need.
- 03 Supporting Improvement Activities Using data for improvement activities
A time tracking and project management tool
that supports continuous improvement in real project environments
TimeTracker RX provides the capabilities needed for time tracking and project management, enabling teams to analyze their data and drive improvement.
It supports a wide range of knowledge-work and desk-based activities, including software development, hardware design, sales, and web production.
Improvement activities at DENSO CREATE
DENSO CREATE has been engaged in improvement activities in the projects of software development for many years. Here are some of our results.
Product planning and improvement activities
DENSO CREATE has been working on improvement activities based on the Toyota Production System and other methods of measuring work hours and improving productivity through "visualization". This is a series of articles on the know-how we have developed over the past two decades in Time Management and project-management.
