Hello, My team and I have encountered an issue with our timesheet where we did not report hours for certain categories appropriately. For example, we have a task in General Tasks listed as "Project Meeting and Communication". Instead of reporting hours spent on this task as a total of hours per person, it was reported as how many hours a meeting took(so if a meeting took 1 hour, instead of 6 hours, 1 hour was listed). There are also other discrepancies between per-person hours and booked hours. We are aware of how we've been previously instructed to not revise timesheet history. But would this count as error fixing, or would we simply roll all the hours we misreported over into the next weekly deliverable with a note for our auditor? We are unsure about rolling hours over in this particular case as it would result in quite a large sum of rolled-over hours, thus we decided to consult the forum. Thank you.

Hi, As I mentioned in another thread, please keep in mind that the timesheet is mainly an exercise in prediction, and a management tool for the project where it provides a consolidated view of progress to date (versus expectation). What I'm seeking to avoid is revisionism, where the past is altered in the light of experience, making learning impossible. OTOH, if what was listed was wrong, then correction is appropriate. The issue is: what was the reality then, and what is it now. Makes sense? Cheers MichaelW 👨‍🎨
