The products and services which you sell are in fact the "time", thus ensuring that the studio is running efficiently is a key factor for any agency to be profitable. In order to make sure that your agency is managing time properly and delivering the tasks, you must use some sort of management tool like Synergist that brings you timesheet application and project management features all in one box! For this system to be a success every live job must have an estimate of time against it; and there should only be 2-3 people only who have the ability to schedule the work. The Client Account team should have a view only access so that they can see the studio capacity in order to better manage Clients expectations.  Estimate lines will be allocated to resources and this method operates on a drag and drop basis. It is imperative that the system is kept as up to date as possible to give a true and accurate reflection of the studio capacity. For it to be a success there needs to be a Studio Manager or a Traffic Manager controlling the diary booking system and ultimately responsible for the resource planning of the company. The allocation of work to resources will be detailed in their web diary view – this will from the basis of recording time to the jobs that each individual resource is working on.

Although, both are important to be maintained but project specific record is even more essential because operational record could same for multiple projects but project to project things may vary. Therefore using job bag systems will help keeping record in one place that can be used in future for reference and decision making. Even electronic job bag system can also be effective. Usually, a job bag is an archive that carries all relevant material to a project or a job that ensures proper management and job tracking for any reasons. It could either be some improvement, future decision making or reuse of existing organizational knowledge. So, job bags and tracking systems can help agencies making more progress by better management of organizational information and record.
