“When performance is measured, performance improves. When performance is measured and reported back, the rate of improvement accelerates.”– Pearson’s Law

 

This statement highlights the importance of measuring performance and reporting each activity. It applies to project management as well. When an activity log is there, you know who is doing what and how long each task takes. It helps boost productivity, reduce unnecessary tasks, and optimize efficiency. 

 

To achieve all this, you can start by using activity logs. They are useful tools that help you analyze how people on a project use their time, where they spend their energy, and how much effectiveness there is. 

 

When you keep an activity log, you also learn how much time specific tasks will take in the future. It will help you plan better. Similarly, keeping activity logs helps you provide your clients and other stakeholders with realistic timeframes and ensure no deadline is missed. 

 

Activity logs are great for better employee management, too. You can see which employees are doing the best work in minimal time. You can also see which employees take longer than usual to do specific tasks and retrain them accordingly.
