Time Tracking: Trello Integration

Hourly is the Trello time tracking power-up that enhances your workflow

Installing the Hourly power-up makes it easy to track time spent in Trello. You can start an Hourly timer from any card and see how much time has already been recorded on that card. All time tracked in Trello appears in Hourly with the corresponding task ID and link back to the card where the time was tracked.

If you're unfamiliar with Trello...

Trello is a project management program that operates on a system of boards, lists, and cards, with each Trello board representing a project or a major task. On each board, lists are used to categorise and organise tasks or stages of a project. Cards, which are placed within lists, represent individual tasks or items to be completed. This hierarchical structure is intuitive and helps users visualise their work and manage projects across different team members and other stakeholders.

See how you spend your time using Trello

As one of your essential power-ups, Hourly allows you to using the data recorded in Trello. Create reports grouped across team members, clients, and projects to see how your organisation spends its time. With a Trello card ID attached to each corresponding time entry, you'll be able to see which projects are moving through the pipeline as expected, and which are taking longer than first thought.
