What is meant by Project data acquisition?
Project data acquisition refers to the process of collecting, storing and managing data and information related to a project. This process is critical to monitor, control, and document the progress, success, and efficiency of a project.
Project data collection includes:
- Capturing and managing project plans, schedules, budgets, project descriptions, objectives, and other relevant documents.
- Capturing progress data, milestones, and key performance indicators (KPIs) during the project. This may include tracking labor hours, task status, resource usage, and other project-related metrics.
- When changes are made to plans, requirements, or resources during the course of a project, it is important to capture and document these changes.
- Long-term storage and archiving of project data and documents is necessary to ensure the possibility of later analysis, tracking, or accountability.
