You shouldn’t have to chase timesheets. Here’s how to fix the problem for good

Tired of broken time data? Here’s how to get the clarity you need — without chasing your team.

TL;DR

• Incomplete time logs shouldn’t be your problem
• 7pace Timetracker for Jira gives you clean, structured data — without chasing
• See who’s logging time, what’s billable, and what’s falling through
• Pull client-ready reports without spreadsheets or second-guessing
• Check out the Marketplace listing or hand your boss the Buyer’s Guide and make it official

You open a report.

It’s missing half the week. Again.

Now you’re chasing updates, pinging team members, cross-checking spreadsheets, and trying to piece together something that looks presentable for leadership or finance.

Sound familiar?

If you’re managing a project, a budget, or even just expectations, missing time data isn’t just annoying — it’s risky.

Why Jira time tracking breaks down for project and finance teams

Your team’s not trying to make your job harder. They’re just juggling too many tasks — and time tracking often falls to the bottom of the list.

Jira’s built-in tools don’t help much. There’s no way to standardize how people log time, no easy way to flag what’s billable, and no filters to see the big picture across teams, clients, or cost centers.

So your reports? They’re always a few steps behind — just when you need them to be real-time.

How 7pace Timetracker gives you structured, reliable time data

7pace Timetracker for Jira doesn’t just make time tracking easier for your team. It gives you structured, centralized data that’s actually useful.

What that means for you:

• No more chasing: Skip the follow-ups — time logs are captured where work happens
• Structured data at the source: Time is tracked inside Jira, not in a disconnected tool
• Filter with flexibility: View time by project, person, team, or billing category
• Finance-ready reports: Export clean, complete data — no spreadsheets required

Day-to-day reporting benefits for managers and leads

You’re in a meeting. You need to know where a project stands.
You pull up a report — and it’s already clean.

Whether you're updating a client, prepping a forecast, or getting ahead of burnout, 7pace gives you the time data to lead with confidence — without micromanaging your team.

Here’s what you can do:

• See how much of your team’s time is billable vs. internal
• Catch time logging gaps before they become budget issues
• Export reports for finance or leadership — with no cleanup
• Compare estimated vs. actual hours to improve future planning

Bonus: With the 7pace + BigPicture integration, you can visualize time data alongside project plans — making capacity and workload planning even easier.

A Jira time tracking solution your whole team can actually use

If you’re tired of fixing broken time reports and chasing updates, you don’t need another workaround.
You need a system that fits the way your team actually works — and delivers the data you need to lead with confidence.

7pace Timetracker for Jira is built for that.

How to make the case for better time tracking tools

We created a Buyer’s Guide to help you make the case to stakeholders. It walks through how 7pace supports planning, forecasting, billing, and team adoption — at every level of the business.

Go ahead and send it to your team lead, finance partner, or that one person who’s always fixing the reports.
