Job tracker is a type of software that gives wide possibilities for obtaining control over working processes, daily workloads and other assigned responsibilities within different companies, organizations, and workgroups. The point of such software is providing superiors with effective means for supervising and controlling tasks within subordinated teams in terms of entrusted projects. In order to be effective, such a solution should interconnect multiple users into one system, where people can exchange and share their information. 

For this purpose there should be a centralized job tracker database , opened to regulated access of team members. Such a software solution stands for segregating data and users’ rights according to their duties, roles and responsibilities, protecting content of projects inputted into database in order of ensuring corporate confidentiality and security. Job tracker software makes it easy to access and review data through convenient interfaces, for example using special spreadsheet that allows viewing jobs and tasks described in multiple attributes (columns), or using tree-like template to describe relations between project elements. There are different kinds of software with such functionality, for example paid and software, which differ by their distributional status and given guarantees of quality. Let’s consider example of job management solutions with sharable database, dynamically created spreadsheets, and customizable templates.
