Overview
Weekly Logs is a time tracking plugin built directly inside DevStride. Because it lives where the work already lives, there is no context switch — your tickets are already there, your week is already laid out, and logging time is a matter of finding the task and entering the hours.
The plugin is built around a weekly grid. Work assigned to you surfaces automatically. Entries save as you go. And every hour stays attached to the exact task it came from — not a free-text description, not a spreadsheet row, but the actual item your team is tracking.
Why Weekly Logs exists
Time tracking breaks down not because people refuse to do it, but because it is always something to do later. Work happens in tickets, tasks, and pull requests — but hours get logged somewhere else, days after the fact, from memory. By Friday, the effort is real but the record is a guess.
That gap costs teams. Billing is harder to defend. Reporting is harder to trust. And managers spend time chasing updates instead of reading them.
Weekly Logs is built to close that gap — by putting time tracking in the same place the work is already being done.
How it works
Each week is represented as a grid. Rows are tasks. Columns are days — Monday through Sunday. You click a cell, enter hours, and move on. The entry is saved automatically.
Tasks are not typed in from scratch. They are pulled directly from your DevStride workstream — the same items your team is already tracking. Work assigned to you appears in the Proposed items section so it is ready to log against without any searching.
Every entry is linked to the exact task it belongs to, making reporting accurate and billing defensible.
