Work Solo or With a Team. TimerMVP Scales With You.

How should a small agency track time across the team?

Use one system and one set of clients. When each person tracks in their own tool or spreadsheet, the totals never quite add up and nobody trusts them. With a shared workspace, every session lands against the same client records, so a client's total hours include everyone's work.

Agree on a few conventions early. Which hashtags to use, how to write session notes, and what counts as billable. A two-person studio that settles this in week one avoids months of cleaning up inconsistent data later.

• Shared clients visible to the whole team
• Team members can also keep personal clients
• Team task board for workload and blockers
• Announcements for team-wide updates

How do I see how many hours a client uses across the whole team?

Run a report on the client and include every team member's sessions. This is where retainers get tested. Say a client pays a monthly retainer that you priced at 20 hours. You log 8, your partner logs 9, and a contractor logs 7. Nobody individually went over, but together you did.

Without a combined view, that overage is invisible until someone adds it up by hand. With one, you see it during the month and can decide whether to absorb it, adjust the retainer, or tighten scope before renewal.

How do I keep a small team aligned on tasks and deadlines?

Put the work where everyone can see it. The team board shows each person's tasks, so you can spot who is overloaded and what is blocked. A short weekly check of the board is often enough for a small team, without adding another standing meeting.

Use announcements for things everyone needs to know at once: a deadline moving, a new client starting, a change to how a client wants to be invoiced. It keeps important updates out of scattered chat threads where half the team will miss them.

Is team time tracking about monitoring people?

It should not be. TimerMVP does not take screenshots or watch app activity. Each person starts and stops their own timer, which means the record reflects what they chose to log. That keeps the focus on accountability and clear data rather than surveillance.

The best use of team data is to make better decisions about clients and pricing. If one client consistently takes twice the hours you quoted, that is a pricing problem, not a people problem. Shared, honest records make that conversation possible.
