When we first heard about Open Atrium we realized that this had the potential to seriously reduce the maintenance overhead we had on our project management platform.

So as many other Drupal shops we decided to build ourselves a new extranet in Open Atrium.

Some time ago we blogged about Bubbletimer, a module for tracking time spent on projects. Peter Arato, the module's author now also built 2 features that integrates it with Open Atrium:

Time Managment adds a tab on the user space with the Bubbletimer form

Anybody who ever filled in time sheets knows what a pain it can be. Worse, any ticket based time tracking implies that you should be doing productive work at all times. We all know that's not true...
Here's what's wrong with the classical time sheets approach:

• It requires you to interrupt your activities
• Since it's not integrated in all aspects of your workflow you often forget about them
• It's a lot of extra work to provide context to the time submission
• Tracking only happens for “billable” items
