Because developers log effort directly within their work environment, 7pace Timetracker** **delivers precise, real-time data quality. Managers get immediate visibility into team velocity, sprint health, and project budgets without chasing down updates.

### Sprint Health and Governance

- **Real-Time Sprint Insights:** Track time spent per work item, individual team member contributions, burndown rates, and project progress against schedule and budget.
- **Approvals and Lockout:** Easily review and approve team timesheets using the *Approval* tab, and close or lock historical weeks to prevent retroactive edits.

### Budgeting and Cost Management

- **Custom Budgeting:** Map budgets directly to iterations, releases, features, work items, or individual work logs. For more information, see the [Budgets](https://appfire.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/7TFA/pages/1253540085) page.
- **Financial Analytics and Billing:** Use the dedicated *Budgets* page for real-time visibility into billable hours and effort allocation.

### Times Explorer (Data Operations)

- **Custom Views:** Select, group, and filter columns to analyze work logs exactly as needed.
- **Work Log Control:** Preview work logs before assigning them to budgets.
- **Batch Operations:** Add, edit, import, or export individual or bulk time entries in seconds.

For more information, see the [Times Explorer](https://appfire.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/7TFA/pages/1253540013) page.

### Integrations & Exporting

- **REST Reporting API:** Secure OAuth/OData-based API to connect 7pace data directly to Power BI, Project Server, or custom enterprise toolchains.
- **Rich Data Exports:** Export formatted, rich-data reports directly to Excel for advanced offline processing.
