Project Management Flow, Data and Information

In Previous article, we covered Project Development Life Cycle.Types of Project Development Life Cycle In this article we shall cover about Project Management flow, in this we shall cover about

• Work Performance Data
• Work Performance Information and
• Work Performance Reports.

Through Monitoring and Controlling part of project management, one can make out if the project is on track. For this we need status and progress reports of the project, these are called Work Performance Reports. Stakeholders are always interested to understand in Work Performance Reports which provides information about project health.

Examples of Work Performance Reports include status reports, progress reports, trends report, earned value report, variance report, etc.

Format of Work Performance Report may be Burn Down charts, Bar Charts, histogram etc.

Work performance data is the raw data identified during execution activities.
It is current status of various project parameters, like how much work is completed, how much time has elapsed,
and the cost so far.

Work performance information is the information that we derive with the help of work performance data; e.g. planned status, cost prediction etc.

So, main use of Work Performance Data and Information is to prepare Work Performance report, which can be communicated to stakeholders (Project team is an example of stakeholder).

Hope this information helps!

In next blogs, shall continue with Project Management framework (try to focus on Influence on Project Managment).
