Project Hours Tracking
What is Project Hours Tracking?
An introduction to Strova's project hours feature — how it works, who can use it, and when it's useful.
Project hours tracking is a Business plan feature for teams that work across multiple projects simultaneously. Instead of tracking a single team's output, it breaks down where each member's time is actually going — automatically, from their daily updates.
How It Works
When a team is configured as a multi-project team, Strova's AI analyzes each daily update and extracts time estimates per project. Members don't fill out timesheets — they just write their updates as normal, mentioning what they worked on and for which project. The AI does the parsing.
Example update excerpt:
"Spent most of the morning on the payments integration (Project Alpha), then switched to bug fixes for the mobile app (Project Beta) in the afternoon."
From this, Strova extracts approximately X hours for Project Alpha and Y hours for Project Beta and logs them for that member on that date.
What You Can Track
- Hours per project per member per day — granular daily breakdowns
- Team-level project allocation — see how your team's time is distributed across projects for any date range
- Individual vs. team views — members see their own hours; leads and admins see the full team
Who Can See Project Hours?
| Role | What they can see |
|---|---|
| Member | Their own project hours only |
| Team Lead | All members on their team |
| Admin / Owner | All teams and all members |
Enabling Project Hours for a Team
Project hours tracking is only active for teams marked as multi-project. See Multi-project teams for how to enable this on a team.
Limitations
- Hours are AI-estimated from natural language — they're directionally accurate but not a substitute for formal time-tracking if billing precision is required
- Members must mention projects by name in their updates for accurate extraction
- The feature is only available on the Business plan
