I read this, this morning, after seeing a similar thread on Reddit: http://breakingthetimebarrier.freshbooks.com It's pretty good - talks a lot about figuring out what your value is, and what you should charge. Summary: don't bill for time, bill for the value you bring to the client/customer. In this case, you'd bill (I think) for the reduced hassle of someone not having to manually figure out who can take time off, and when, and for the benefit of choir members being able to self-manage the process. The task sounds a lot like a modified version of a room reservation system. Turn the problem on its head - there are only so many slots for people to take vacation at once, and you can track THAT fairly trivially with existing software. You're not tracking people, you're tracking usage of available vacation periods. --e _______________________________________________ Discuss mailing list [email protected] https://lists.lopsa.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/discuss This list provided by the League of Professional System Administrators http://lopsa.org/
