I created Status Reporter to track how my time was spent working on various activities that were associated with work breakdown structure (WBS) line items. Each activity was associated with a WBS line item, and the WBS line item was part of the overall departmental budget. In other words, time spent on Project X was given a WBS number, which was part of all the projects were responsible for completing.
Even though Status Reporter was developed for a specific purpose, the ideals can be applied...
