Monday time tracking

Monday.com allows you to use visual boards to manage everything, from tasks to departments and projects.

However, you can't manage anything well if you're not measuring it. Objective measurement of key metrics helps you identify areas to improve. That said, Monday time tracking helps you measure how much time you and your team are taking to complete tasks.
