Project management tracking methods are used when it is necessary to gather, collect, systematize, analyze and evaluate information indicating project’s “health” and status of performance. PM methodologies mean creating of system delivering the appropriate information on project tasks and resources to project managers and supervisors. Establishing such a system includes setting up certain measures to control and evaluate progress made over the project performance, along with obtaining appropriate tools for monitoring the essential project parameters. Traditional tools include paper reports telling the project key indicators ( templates that should be filled in by authorized persons, with certain regularity). Today, computer programs can be used for this purpose. Let’s consider how to monitor work. The point of such software is to make work monitoring easier and faster as possible. Actually software should transfer the templates into electronic format, along with interconnecting job superiors and team members of all other levels through electronic communicational channels. To be efficient project management tracking software should cover not only reporting, but also other areas of PM, for example planning. Let’s consider some “must have” functions for computer-based program.:
Job sheet – conceptually this is an instrument showing the list of tasks along with displaying their current statuses described in multiple parameters. Such a sheet should have configurable interface and adjustable properties, so project manager can get a complete project picture in terms of different dimensions – for example to control tasks assigned to certain persons. Resource-oriented monitoring – of course, managers should keep abreast of resources (usually time and costs) to know how they are spent, and if all predefined plans are followed correctly. The set of tools should include possibilities to plan, control and calculate project budget, time parameters and other quantitative metrics. Productivity and efficiency – the entire workgroup as well as every particular member should be properly controlled in terms of work productivity and efficiency. Electronic form of communicating facilitates collecting and systematization of the work performance data, so such software should help you in monitoring not only the current performance metrics, but also enable you to review previous data to define tendencies and issues.
