Project Health and Behaviour Monitor

challenge

Challenge 5

brief

The team focused on establishing strong data quality and analytical foundations for a Project Health and Behaviour Monitor. Using a structured synthetic dataset, they demonstrated how task-level schedule, cost, and resource attributes can be cleaned, validated, and analysed to identify volatility, critical path risk, forecasting accuracy issues, and problematic resourcing behaviours.

key outcomes

Improved reliability of planning data through systematic cleansing; clearer identification of behavioural risk indicators such as volatility and ignored dependencies; stronger analytical basis for predictive dashboards; reduced noise and ambiguity in schedule and resource analysis.
