This introductory Project Analytics course will improve your organisation's project management by offering insights and facilitating more informed decision-making.

What is project data analytics?

Project data analytics is the process of using data from past and current projects to improve the delivery of current and future projects, and therefore business growth. Put simply, it involves applying regular data analysis (i.e using raw data to draw informed conclusions) to project management.

Project data analysis usually falls under one of two categories: descriptive analytics (presenting data in the most effective format) or predictive analytics (using past data to predict future performance.)

The process of project data analysis involves mining data from different areas of project management, and subsequently using this data to:

  • Make informed decisions to improve your processes, achieve business goals and accelerate client expertise.
  • Persuade stakeholders to change initiatives by using descriptive analytics and/ or presenting data in effective ways.
  • Using data as a predictive measure to forecast capacity and performance, and implement change where necessary.

The benefits

Applying data analysis to projects provides a whole array of benefits, such as:

  • Understanding patterns and trends.
  • Taking corrective measures before it’s too late.
  • Achieving business goals.
  • Determining complex projects’ outcomes in real-time.
  • Make data supported budgeting decisions.
  • Improve resource utilization.
  • Optimizing project performance.

About the course
