Project Time Planning Without the Headaches of Tracking

Traditional time tracking software requires constant input, often interrupting focus and complicating team workflows. Doofer skips the stopwatch — instead, it helps you create structured time estimates per role, compare them against project outcomes, and learn from every sprint.

You get the insights of a project time tracking tool — without the distraction.

Plan Project Hours at Every Level

  • Estimate time for epics, tasks, and subtasks
  • Assign roles with specific hours/day contributions
  • Build flexible estimates based on workload or delivery phases
  • Use templates like PERT or min/max to structure time projections
  • Export timelines to CSV or PDF for easy reviews

From Estimation to Evaluation

After completing projects, teams can revisit their estimates, compare them with actual delivery timeframes, and refine planning strategies — turning Doofer into a feedback-driven project time tracking tool alternative.

This supports continuous improvement, especially for agile and project-based workflows.
