常见问题
What is automated time-tracking and how does it prevent agency margin erosion?
Automated time-tracking records active screen time and links it directly to tasks. It eliminates human forgetfulness, capturing every minute spent on revisions so agencies can stop giving away free labor and bill for out-of-scope requests.
How do you set up automated alerts for scope creep?
You can connect your tracking software, like Toggl, to your project management tool via Zapier or Make. Set a filter to trigger a notification to your PMs the moment logged revision hours touch 85% of the total budgeted project time.
What is the Three-Revision Script and when should it be used?
It is a professional communication template for email or LINE. Use it the moment a client requests a fourth revision, politely informing them that their complimentary rounds are complete and offering a clear hourly rate to proceed.
Will implementing strict time-tracking hurt creative team morale?
No, when positioned correctly. Tracking protects creatives from burnout by proving to management and clients that constant revision requests lead to excessive unbilled overtime, encouraging healthier boundaries and better project planning.
How does automated tracking compare to manual timesheets?
Manual timesheets are often filled out at the end of the week based on memory, resulting in a high error rate. Automated tracking captures actual work in real time, saving hours of PM admin time and capturing unbilled leakage.
