On a project the size of ours, there are a number of variables to consider and they have to be accounted for. RSK Business Solutions' timesheet allows us to break costs down so we can understand them. It is user-friendly and saves us an inordinate amount of time; it's an efficient way of working.

Trevor Jones | National Grid | Project Resources Manager

The online timesheet made understanding the spend and progress against the budget not only a simple process, but offered much needed project detail at the touch of a button. The timesheet was a very beneficial addition to the project and proved to be a very capable tool.

Darren Cottrell | Network Rail | Signalling Risk Control Co-ordinator

The Definition of Done

Agile uses a scrum project management methodology or framework for the development of products, like software and mobile applications for companies. Agile breaks the development process down into sprints. These usually last 2-4 weeks and result in a potentially shippable increment.
