Understand where a project stands financially today
Identify which phases or team members are over or under budget
Create and adjust work plans based on available budget
Reallocate work to stay within budget
The Time tab is structured in layers:
Project total → overall budget health
Phases → how budget is distributed across the project
Members → who is contributing to the work
And includes four key columns:
Budget (blue) → the starting budget or fee
Spent (green) → time already logged
Planned (yellow) → future scheduled work
Remaining → what is left
👉 Remaining = Budget – Spent – Planned
The Time tab reflects your current budget position.
Time logged in the past appears as Spent
Work scheduled in the future appears as Planned
As time passes, planned hours move into spent
This means the numbers in this view are always updating to reflect where the project stands today.
Begin by reviewing the top row.
