I never use ORT.
Leadership will know how much time you spend traveling compared to someone who's local, ceteris paribus. Take it as "hardship hours" if you may
Never bothered, didn't impact anything, strong ratings... lol at leadership caring about hardship
Not putting it definitely won't help. I've heard it can help in cases of lower util.
Yeah I mean if you want to casually put a ton of hours into ORT be my guest, it'll never hurt you... but hopefully you have a better case for yourself than "look at all the ORT I booked" if you have low utilization or performance.. this is for S&O btw
Will agree to disagree, also so many people even on coast to coasts aren't using ORT.. it will probably come up quickly.. counselors also now readily see how much traveling their counselees are doing separately from this
I thought you just use ORT when you're on the bench but didn't do any firm development either
What D3 said. For more junior people where they're a dime in a dozen, I think more hours can look better. Just imagine ORT: 0 vs ORT: 480 (for coast to coast project for example)
I've only used ORT when I was an intern and got paid hourly. What's the point of logging this if no one looks at it now. Wastes my time.
Note: GPS practitioners do NOT use the ORT charge code. If you are GPS but on a commercial engagement, or vice versa, refer to your project leadership for instructions on whether it’s appropriate for you to charge. Typically for GPS projects, you charge your travel time to the client WBS.
