Use this page to organize engineering hours around Asana projects, tasks, assignees, and status. The practical job is simple: capture the time engineers spend on specific work, keep billable and non-billable hours separate, and turn those records into reports that a project manager, finance lead, or client can read without reconstructing the week from chat messages.
A clean record answers four questions for every entry: who did the work, which Asana task it belongs to, how much time was logged, and whether the time affects billing or budget totals. Engineering work often crosses planning, coding, review, testing, release support, and internal coordination. Each category needs a consistent place in the record.
Engineering hours need more than a total. A client-facing project may include billable implementation work, non-billable discovery, warranty fixes, internal code review, and meetings that belong in the project record but not on the invoice. Marking the billing status at the right level prevents the same engineering hour from being counted correctly in one report and incorrectly in another.
Rates also need a clear rule. Some teams bill the project at one hourly rate, some bill by engineer, and some price specific tasks differently. A useful setup names the rule before time is logged, then applies it consistently to Asana tasks so reports can show billable time, non-billable time, billable amount, and cost without manual cleanup.
Engineering reports work best when they reflect how the team actually works. Group hours by project, task, person, date range, billing status, and work type. A weekly report for a software project might show development time on implementation tasks, QA time on testing tasks, and non-billable time on internal planning, all tied back to the Asana structure.
The common mistake is treating every engineering hour as the same kind of hour. A task comment, a status change, and a time entry answer different questions. The time entry should carry the duration and billing context. The Asana task should carry the work context. The report should combine both without forcing finance or delivery leads to interpret raw activity.
A one-off review is enough when you need to inspect one project, one sprint, or one client request. Export the relevant engineering hours, check the task names, confirm the billing status, and reconcile the totals against the work completed. That approach works for a small correction or a single invoice dispute.
A managed workflow becomes necessary when engineering hours affect recurring billing, project budgets, profitability, or payroll review. Everhour adds embedded tracking on Asana tasks, budget alerts at admin-defined thresholds, billable and non-billable views, and exportable reports so approved time can move into billing and cost review with less rework.

Organize hours by the Asana task that represents the actual work completed. Keep implementation, QA, review, support, and internal coordination visible as separate task work when they need different billing or budget treatment. A single weekly total hides whether the time went to client deliverables, rework, planning, or non-billable engineering support.
Non-billable engineering hours usually include internal planning, training, warranty work, presales research, and corrections that the client agreement excludes from billing. The project record should still keep those hours because they affect cost, margin, and capacity. Removing them from the record makes the project look cheaper than it was.
Code review time should follow the billing rule in the client agreement or project policy. If review is part of delivery, track it as billable engineering time under the relevant task or review task. If review is an internal quality control cost, track it as non-billable so profitability reports still show the labor cost.
Reports become inaccurate when engineers log time to broad placeholder tasks, skip non-billable work, change billing status after invoicing review, or use inconsistent categories for the same work. The fix is a short naming and tracking rule: task-level work, clear billing status, current date range, and one place for corrections before approval.
A useful entry identifies the task, duration, date, and billing status. Add a short description when the task name does not explain the work, such as investigation, implementation, review, or release support. Avoid paragraph-long notes unless the entry needs client-facing explanation or supports a later billing question.
Everhour supports billable and non-billable handling through project billing status, task-level non-billable controls, custom task rates, member-rate exceptions, and admin reports. Engineering managers can keep work tied to Asana tasks while finance reviews billable time, non-billable time, billable amount, and cost in one report.
Everhour embeds tracking controls inside Asana and syncs project names, task titles, custom fields, and tags for reporting. That lets teams report engineering hours by the same project and task structure used for delivery, then export the report when finance or client review needs a separate file.
Track billable and non-billable engineering work from Asana tasks, then use Everhour reports to review time, cost, and invoice-ready totals with cleaner billing control.
