The artists, supervisors, producers, and all key persons are aware of what’s going on in the production every day. The artists themselves become responsible for their own performance by entering the timesheet updates, which would be very effective during their appraisal. Being answerable due to transparency, the artists keep themselves more engaged and focused on the tasks assigned and the fixed target.

From the perspective of the Supervisor, it is very easy to analyze the performance then and thereby sniffing out the timesheet regularly. When the timesheet compares with Dailies, the Supervisor can identify irregularities, if any. The Supervisors have the access to deny in case of inappropriate entries given by artists. Regular tracking helps to guide the artists and improve their efficiency, which indirectly reflects an increase in productivity.
