MODERN TOOLS FOR PLANNING MANAGER'S WORKING TIME IN THE CONTEXT OF THE DIGITAL ECONOMY

Based on a systematic analysis of scientific literature, the article establishes that in modern research the concept of working time planning is reduced to time management. There are two main approaches: the first is aimed at organising time (time management) for each employee; the second assumes that the problems of working time management are reduced to labour rationing. It has been determined that planning of manager's working time is a complex of technologies for planning, allocation and optimisation of time in order to achieve maximum efficiency of managerial work. In order to improve the process of planning the manager's working time, the best software is systematised, the advantages and disadvantages are presented, and the basic cost of their use is determined. It is proved that most popular applications have the following basic functionality: file transfer; communication tools; calendar, Gantt chart; the ability to create and delegate tasks and monitor their status. Based on the comparative analysis of software products, it is proposed to introduce GanttPro and/or Kissflow Project software products that offer affordable functionality and contain free versions into the enterprise's activities. These applications are web-based, and GanttPro includes a mobile version. The effect of implementing the software for planning the working time of management personnel will be reflected in: improving the quality of management decisions made with the help of available information and reducing the labour intensity of individual work of management employees.
