Project data is the gathering and analysis of numbers, estimations and other statistics during construction projects. Properly using these data helps to improve process efficiency and guarantees the success of projects. The proper management of these data can help to reduce risk and increase profit.
The first step to analyze project data is to understand the goals of the analysis and who will be using it. The next step is to determine the sources of the data. It is then crucial to confirm and validate the accuracy of the data and to look for gaps or errors. The results of the analysis should be shared with stakeholders.
What is the best way to organize project information?
Reports that are simple to understand and use are the most effective method to organize data. This will enable you to more easily analyze the data and identify areas of improvement or opportunities.
There are many different ways to design a report, including using graphic dashboards or an Excel spreadsheet. The most important thing to keep in mind is that the report must contain the information required by the project manager or stakeholders.
If the project is governed by a budget it’s beneficial to create documents that show the projected amount vs. the actual spending to allow for adjustments. A report that shows how many hours the employees have worked is also helpful for monitoring staff availability and ensuring that the project meets its schedule commitments.
