Project Management
Everything under Project Management hangs off a contract. A contract has projects, projects have tasks, and people log time against tasks. That chain is what makes invoicing and reporting work without extra bookkeeping.
Projects
Section titled “Projects”Create projects under a contract with a budget of hours, a start and end date, and a status. The project page shows health at a glance: hours used against the budget, the schedule, and the people on it.
Break a project into tasks. Each task has a status, a priority, a deadline, and an optional contract service, which is what sets the billing rate for time logged against it. Tasks are a flat list per project; there are no subtasks.
Assignments
Section titled “Assignments”Assignments put a person on a task in a position, with a status that moves from requested to accepted to active to complete. Assignments are on the Pro plan and higher.
Two things help you decide who to assign:
- Team Skills (Pro and higher) - each person’s skills, tools, and scores, under System > Team Skills
- AI recommendations - an assistant that suggests assignments from skills and current load
Nymble does not check availability or balance workload for you. Use the availability survey on timesheets and the utilization report widgets to see who has room.
Time off
Section titled “Time off”Team members request time off under Project Management > Time Off with a type you define (vacation, sick, and so on). Managers approve it. There is no balance tracking or calendar sync; time off is visible on the request list and on the person’s timesheet for that week.
