Introduction
How do you manage your working hours?
There are many ways to use it, such as using a watch or a stopwatch on a smartphone, but I think time management becomes complicated when you work like “IN THE END, HOW LONG HAS IT TAKEN TO DO THIS?” or “How much time did you spend as a team?”.
Point of time management is visible
The point of time management is to visualize it first.
