Scrum master time tracking

Track sprint effort and billing across scrum team delivery.

01

Built around the work before the invoice

Scrum ceremonies consume team time. The question is which of that time is billable, and how to explain the split to clients.

Capture delivery work by client and role

Record time by client, project, and team member role so billing reports reflect actual team composition without needing a separate tracking system per person.

Review team-level billing before it leaves the project

Give project leads a combined view of who worked on what, what is billable, and whether the team effort matches the client story before invoice prep starts.

Report team delivery in client billing language

Produce summaries that explain team effort by deliverable, milestone, or service area so clients understand what they are paying for.

02

Sprint reporting

Show clients what sprint effort actually cost

Scrum masters often face a reporting gap: the sprint board shows story completion, but stakeholders and clients want to understand where team time actually went across features, support, retros, planning, and unplanned work. Keito gives scrum teams a time record that separates billable development from internal ceremonies and support — turning sprint data into a defensible billing summary.

What Keito adds to scrum master time tracking

Team billing without per-seat penalties

Keito flat pricing means project leads can add contractors, specialists, and reviewers without facing a billing escalation each time the delivery team changes composition.

  • Flat-rate team plans from $49/month
  • Mix of full-time and contract contributors
  • Finance and project lead reviewers included

Delivery context the whole team fills in

Keito is designed for teams who move fast. It captures the minimum needed for billing accuracy: client, project, task, and billable status, without turning every entry into a form.

  • Quick entry with client and project tags
  • Billable or non-billable classification per entry
  • Manager review before entries become billing evidence

One billing view across the full team

Project leads can see all team contributions to a client engagement, not just their own entries, so the billing review is a single step rather than an aggregation exercise.

  • Project and team utilization view
  • Combined billing summary by client
  • Exportable team report for invoice backup

Compare the workflow

The difference is not just recording time. It is whether the record can support billing, project decisions, and client conversations.

Area Keito Typical setup

Sprint reporting

Connects sprint delivery effort to client billing and project summaries.

Jira and scrum boards show completion, not billable time breakdowns.

Ceremony visibility

Tracks time in ceremonies vs feature delivery vs unplanned support.

Most time trackers do not model the scrum ceremony split.

Client evidence

Produces reviewed summaries that justify sprint costs to stakeholders.

Teams often reconstruct sprint billing from memory or exports.

Frequently asked questions

Should scrum teams track time?

Yes. Time tracking in scrum teams is not about surveillance — it is about understanding the true cost of sprint delivery, ceremony overhead, and client-billable effort.

How much of a scrum sprint is billable?

Typically 70–85% of sprint time is client-billable (feature work, bug fixes, code review). The remainder covers retros, planning, refinement, and internal improvements that vary by team and engagement model.

Can Keito integrate with Jira for scrum time tracking?

Keito is a parallel billing workspace — teams reference the same project and client context used in Jira while keeping billing records, approvals, and summaries in a dedicated billing tool.
