Driven by Data
Harkins utilized data analytics and advanced reporting to drive schedule buy-in, facilitate weekly work planning, and evaluate overall risk to the projects proactively. We were able to utilize Power BI, among other analytics tools, to combine schedule data with other project data to provide innovative visualizations that allowed the project teams to make data-driven decisions that had actionable outcomes.
