Project data is any data that is collected, documented and stored for a particular project. It could include a project plan, budget, timeline, and resources.
The aim of collecting and storing project data is to increase productivity, improve quality and deliver projects on time and within budget. Accurate and complete project data is not just useful in presenting a clear image of what was accomplished, but also helps with other aspects of the project such as change management along with defect resolution and schedule updates.
A good project management tool that is accessible and centrally located across all platforms will enhance your ability to collect, organize, and analyze data to make smart decisions. It can also help eliminate errors duplicates, omissions and other errors. For instance, with Runn it is possible to set up the same fields to track Project status, project timelines and resource usage across all of your online platforms. This lets you to compare performance and data across different platforms over an extended period of time.
By using the Project Data Fields tool in Runn, it is possible to create eight different types of Data Fields. The most commonly used are List and Check. Data fields that are of the type List allow you to pick a value from a menu and can also be used to color Tasksbars. If the Data Field labels change continuously, they can also be used for reporting Project progress. Check-type data fields are helpful to check if a Task is completed or not. By checking the Required box you can make certain Data Fields mandatory for all Users.
