For teams
Estimates always slip.
Find out by how much.
Teams plan in shared workspaces and track as they work, so you see how long work really takes, without monitoring anyone.
Shared workspaces with real roles
Owners, admins, members and viewers, with permissions PV0T enforces, and calendars people can share with each other.
Planned versus actual
Compare estimates with tracked time, so the next plan is built on real numbers. Works with Slack, Todoist, Trello and Zapier.
Tracking, not surveillance
Each person tracks their own time. PV0T takes no screenshots and logs no keystrokes.
Privacy
What the team sees, and what stays yours.
A shared workspace shares the plan, not the person. This is exactly what PV0T shows, and to whom.
Shared with your workspace
- Tasks and plans in the workspace, including when they are scheduled
- Calendars a person chooses to share, as busy times only or with details
- For owners and admins: a log of who created, edited or deleted shared items
Only ever visible to you
- Your tracked time and timer sessions
- Your distractions and your Insights
- Your conversations with Fulcrum
- Desktop app activity: off until you turn it on, websites recorded as domains only, never shared with a workspace
- No screenshots, no keystrokes, and no manager view of anyone's day
Why teams
Estimates slip for a reason. Usually several small ones.
Most teams don't miss plans because people are slow. They miss them because the plan never accounted for how the day actually goes.
Everyone underestimates
It is one of the most reliable findings in psychology. In Buehler, Griffin and Ross's studies of the planning fallacy, people predicted when they would finish their own projects and consistently ran late, even when they knew similar projects had run late before. A team is many people making the same optimistic guess at once. The fix isn't more pressure. It is real numbers to estimate from.
Interruptions cost more than the minutes they take
Research on interrupted work by Mark, Gudith and Klocke found that people cope with interruptions by working faster, at the price of more stress and frustration. Every switch to a message or a quick question shortens the plan without showing up anywhere. PV0T lets each person see those interruptions in their own day.
Real numbers, without surveillance
Each person plans in the shared workspace and tracks their own time. Over a few weeks they see how long their kind of work really takes, and their estimates get better. Nobody's tracked time, distractions or activity is shown to anyone else, managers included.
Built into how you already work
Shared plans and calendars, roles PV0T enforces, and connections to Slack, Todoist, Trello and Zapier, so tracking fits around the tools your team already uses instead of replacing them.
