Context
I designed weekly and monthly time overviews to help teams understand how time is distributed over longer periods. The feature needed to support both individual reflection and team-level visibility within an already complex time tracking environment.
Problem
While users could log time daily, they lacked a clear way to review patterns over time. Understanding workload distribution, gaps, or trends required manual effort or external reporting, making it hard to stay aligned and make informed decisions.
Concept
I introduced structured time overviews that aggregate worklogs into weekly and monthly views. The focus was on clarity and readability: surfacing meaningful patterns without overwhelming users with data. The design balanced high-level summaries with the ability to drill down into details, using familiar time-based structures to reduce cognitive load.
Outcome
Users gained a clearer understanding of how their time is distributed, enabling better planning and more accurate reporting. Teams could identify patterns and inconsistencies faster, improving alignment without adding complexity to the core workflow.
