Shivam,

From the design it seems like the tasks are pre-defined for the developers/coming from planning software. I say this because you display task status and deadline as well. I think this is good as the focus is task based.

My main question would be, do you really need to capture how much effort was spent on each day? What if you keep it simple that the developers update the remaining hours against each task daily. This would be much simpler and faster for people to fill in. It also brings a focus towards task completion and not on what the person spends each day.

Task | Estimated hours | Remaining hours |  Deadline

From analysis standpoint, people care about status of tasks and then from billing standpoint how many hours have been reported. This will be able to provide you the same information.

If you make it too granular, then in my experience, people tend to fill in incorrect details to make sure totals are correct. In this spirit time capture should not be a way of managing the team but only manage tasks.

Cheers
AJ
