Systems that monitor the volume of work output provide insights into employee productivity and project progress. For example, a project management software can log the number of assigned activities marked as finished by each team member in a given timeframe.
The ability to quantify task completion facilitates more accurate project forecasting, resource allocation, and performance evaluations. Tracking progress against established goals allows for timely intervention if deadlines are at risk and provides data for identifying areas of improvement in workflows and individual skillsets. This approach also serves as documentation for billing and client reporting.
