With the Time Tracker Power-Up for Trello, you can easily track time spent on each Trello card, project, and board, directly in your Trello boards. This gives you a better understanding of how your team is managing their time and where you need to make improvements.
Overview

Track time on your Trello Cards
With the integration set up, a TrackingTime section will appear on the cards with a play button you can click to start and stop the tracking. There you’ll find the time tracked so far on that card. Keep in mind that only Trello cards with active time tracking initiated via Play button will appear in TrackingTime for monitoring and reporting.
Once you start tracking your cards, you'll be able to keep tracking them in any of our apps:
Assign an estimated time
Write the estimated time for your task by clicking on "Add Estimated Time" on the TrackingTime bar. While tracking, you'll get a progress bar that will allow you not only to compare worked versus estimated hours, but also shows you how close your task is to its deadline.
Add time entries manually
In order to add a time entry, you can press the plus button on the TrackingTime section of your card, or click on “Add time entry” on the right panel. This way, you can set the start and end times, the duration, add some notes, and fill out custom fields (if you have created any for Hours on your workspace). You just need to click on Create once you are done.
Mark a task as completed
You can mark your task as completed from Trello by archiving the card when clicking on this action located on the right panel of your card. However, marking a task as completed in TrackingTime does not synchronize back to Trello. To reflect task completion, you need to archive or mark the card directly in Trello.
View time reports for your Boards
Run reports of your Trello Boards and cards by visiting TrackingTime, opening the Projects section and selecting the board of interest. From there, you can filter by date range, export it, and run a Timesheet report too.
How automatic Sync works
The following information clarifies what attributes are synced and what aren’t when using the TrackingTime integration with Trello:
Board and Card names.
Board and Card statuses.
Board color.
Visibility: Only public boards will become visible in TrackingTime.
Deletion: When a task is deleted in Trello, it will be deleted in TrackingTime (but not the other way around).
Once your Trello tasks have been synced to TrackingTime, you'll be able to edit the listed attributes, while others will only remain editable in Trello and automatically synced to TrackingTime.
Attributes that you can edit in TrackingTime
Project and Task estimated time.
Task assignees.
Task priority.
Project and Task custom fields.
Subtasks.
Task comments.
Project hourly/fixed rate.
Common Limitations and FAQs
The integration does not support two-way synchronization. Tasks or statuses edited in TrackingTime won’t reflect changes in Trello and vice versa.
Trello cards are synced only when time tracking is initiated from them.
Manual tasks added to TrackingTime remain isolated from the Trello integration but can still be tracked for internal reporting.
