I really like this. For certain industries & situations, you really do need a visual way to represent where your time is going. I've found this to be an area lots of developers seem openly hostile too. I used to do something similar with post-it notes segmented into quarters. This was at an agency where we were working on fixed price/deadline projects. Another commenter here asked if a digital version would be as good. From my own experience, when we digitized the post-it notes it just became another reporting/time tracking setup. The physical aspect of it made it very obvious to the project/product managers as they were stuck up in on a whiteboard in the middle of the office. When things started spilling off the edge and all the way over the wall [1] then it was pretty obvious something was up :) We also used the placing of them to kick off standup in the morning. It was important to remind ourselves/higher-ups that the tracking wasn't meant to be very detailed/accurate but instead indicative and a springboard to guide the weeks planning conversations. To that end, I think it was very effective. [1] https://i.imgur.com/1PdBiX7.jpg https://i.imgur.com/1PdBiX7.jpg
