#### How many seats do I need to buy?

The Timesheets and Budgets add-on is licensed on a per-user basis, so you only need to purchase seats for the people who require timesheet functionality. There’s no domain-wide commitment—just buy licenses for the specific users who need access

#### How does time tracking work in Asana?

Asana’s built-in time tracking allows team members to log time directly on tasks. Logged time automatically rolls up to the project level, where managers can view total hours, billable time, and cost data.

Teams can:
- Track time by task or project
- Separate billable and non-billable hours
- Submit and approve timesheets
- View real-time updates in dashboards

This eliminates manual spreadsheet tracking and keeps project time data centralized.

#### Can I track billable and non-billable hours?

Yes. Asana timesheets allow teams to categorize time as billable or non-billable, helping agencies, consulting teams, and service organizations generate accurate invoices and measure utilization. This ensures clear reporting on client work and internal effort.

#### How does the add-on affect my current plan?

The Timesheets and Budgets add-on includes centralized timesheet management and approvals, budget and cost tracking, billable and non-billable user rates for teams and individuals, and time and cost reporting and exports. Depending on your Asana plan, you'll see these features integrated into the additional dashboards and views your particular plan provides.

On the Advanced plan: Gain high-level visibility with portfolio budgets and detailed reporting on profitability and team costs.

On Enterprise plans: Take planning a step further by layering cost data onto capacity planning, placeholder roles, and universal workloads.

#### Who typically writes a BRD document?

A business analyst typically writes the BRD, though it's a collaborative effort involving project managers, subject matter experts, and key stakeholders.

#### What are the four types of business requirements?

The four types are business requirements (high-level goals), stakeholder requirements (user needs), solution requirements (functional and non-functional specs), and transition requirements (implementation needs).

#### When should you create a business requirements document?

You should create a BRD at the very beginning of a project, during the planning phase. It should be completed before any development or execution work begins to ensure everyone is aligned on the project's objectives and scope.

#### How long should a business requirements document be?

There's no set length; a BRD should be as long as needed to clearly communicate your requirements. Smaller projects may need only a few pages, while complex initiatives require more detail.
