Use this page when you need to plan time and budget around Asana projects without separating tasks from the hours attached to them. The practical job is simple: define the project work, decide which hours count, set the budget target, and keep actual time visible as people move through assigned tasks.
The workflow fits service projects, internal delivery work, retainers, and any project where time drives cost. Asana holds the project structure, task names, owners, and status. Everhour adds the time and budget layer, so planned work and actual tracked hours can be reviewed in the same project context.
A usable time budget starts with task-level estimates, a project budget type, and a clear rule for billable and non-billable work. Teams usually need project rates, member rates, or fixed-fee budget tracking, depending on how the work is priced and reviewed. The same project can still contain non-billable tasks that should remain visible for cost control.
A clean setup separates three questions. The first is time, such as 12 planned hours for design and 20 planned hours for implementation. The second is rate logic, such as member-based billing or a fixed project fee. The third is budget status, including total tracked time, budget remaining, and billable versus non-billable hours.
The most common planning mistake is treating a budget as a single total instead of a live control point. A project can look fine in a summary while one task consumes more time than expected. Task-level tracking makes the variance visible early enough to change scope, adjust staffing, or discuss the budget with the client.
Another mistake is excluding non-billable work from the planning view. Non-billable hours still use capacity and reduce margin. Keep them in reports, then mark them correctly so invoice totals stay clean. A budget review should show time spent, remaining budget, billable status, and the work category behind each major variance.
A one-off budget check is enough when you need a quick view of one project, one week, or one client question. It gives you a snapshot, but it does not create approval history, protected time periods, recurring reviews, or a reliable handoff to billing and reporting.
A managed workflow matters when several people log time against Asana work every week. Everhour Time Tracking supports timers and manual entries, then feeds timesheets, reports, budgets, invoices, and payroll review. Admins can use approvals, locked periods, reminders, and timer rules so budget planning relies on reviewed time instead of scattered updates.

Start with the project structure in Asana, then decide which tasks need estimates, which people or roles affect cost, and which work is billable. Track actual hours against tasks as work happens. Review budget status by project, task, member, and billable status so the budget reflects real delivery work.
Count hours that consume project capacity or client budget, including billable delivery time and non-billable project work. Exclude unrelated admin time only when it belongs outside the project. A reliable budget view keeps non-billable project hours visible, then separates them from billable totals for invoicing and profitability review.
Review active project budgets at least weekly, and review them sooner when the project has tight scope, several contributors, or a fixed fee. A weekly review catches missing time, fast-spending tasks, and budget drift before the month-end invoice or client update forces a late correction.
The biggest gap comes from logging time after the review period closes or leaving task time uncategorized. Late entries change actual cost after managers have already judged the budget. Missing billable status also distorts invoices and margin reports because the same hour affects capacity, cost, and client billing differently.
Use both. Project totals show whether the overall budget is healthy, while task totals show where the budget is being consumed. A project can stay under budget while one phase runs long and another stays untouched. Task detail gives managers a practical place to intervene.
Everhour adds timers and manual time entry to Asana tasks, then sends those hours into timesheets, reports, budgets, invoices, and payroll review. Admins can approve submitted time, lock reviewed periods, send reminders, and apply timer rules so budget reports use controlled time records.
Everhour reporting can show project time, budget remaining, billable and non-billable hours, and detailed report columns with Excel export. The same tracked time can be grouped by project, task, or person, giving managers a budget view that matches the work structure in Asana.
Track approved time where project work happens, then let Everhour connect those hours to budget alerts, reports, invoices, and payroll review.
