- Overlapping assignments cause confusion — making time management stressful
- Manual tracking eats into creative time — reducing productivity
- Difficulty proving hours for client billing — risking payment delays
- No centralized system for approvals — causing miscommunication with teams
- Disconnected data from project management — making workflow disjointed
- Challenges tracking multiple projects simultaneously — increasing administrative overhead
- Limited insights on time spent per project — hindering future planning
