Using Data Analytics to Enhance Project Management

About Course

The Using Data Analytics to Enhance Project Management course explores how data-driven insights can be used to improve planning, execution, and performance in modern project environments.

It equips learners with the knowledge and tools needed to apply data analytics techniques for smarter decision-making, efficient resource allocation, and proactive risk management throughout the project lifecycle.

The course begins by introducing the fundamental concepts of data analytics and project performance measurement, helping participants understand how data can reveal hidden patterns, forecast trends, and evaluate progress in real time. Learners will gain hands-on experience in collecting, interpreting, and visualising project data using accessible analytical tools.

Participants will learn to transform raw project information—such as timelines, budgets, quality metrics, and team performance—into actionable insights that support continuous improvement. The course also highlights how predictive and descriptive analytics can enhance forecasting accuracy and stakeholder communication.

A key component of the Using Data Analytics to Enhance Project Management course focuses on the integration of analytics into agile, traditional, and hybrid project management frameworks, demonstrating how data can support adaptability and informed decision-making. Ethical data practices and governance principles are also covered to ensure responsible and transparent data usage in project environments.

By the end of the programme, learners will possess the analytical mindset and technical proficiency required to optimise project outcomes, improve efficiency, and deliver greater organisational value through evidence-based management.
