The question is worth asking since most people spontaneously have a negative or suspicious attitude when they hear about time tracking. It is therefore important to be imaginative and inventive when introducing your new timesheet tool to facilitate a smooth transition.

However, while developers and IT teams have a good grasp of the subtleties of Agile, this is far from always being the case for other Managers and Senior Management for whom, everything should be fixed: time, cost, and scope!!!
