Do you avoid using "General" in timesheets?

Loading last updated info...

Developers should avoid using "General" project in their timesheets.

"General" should only be used in rare cases, when you're doing something that:

  • Doesn’t fit in any of the existing projects
  • Isn’t worth creating a new project, as it won’t be a long term project or repeated in the future

If you’re using "General" in timesheets frequently, then it’s a problem.
