Building an Integrated Project Performance Framework

The Project Performance Mastery: KPIs, Metrics, and Dashboards training course begins with the foundations of project performance measurement, clarifying the relationship between project objectives, success criteria, key performance indicators and supporting metrics. It then develops the selection and design of meaningful measures, including leading and lagging indicators, critical success factors, stakeholder requirements and the alignment of measures with strategic priorities. Attention also covers establishing baselines, targets and thresholds, together with gathering reliable performance data and maintaining its accuracy, consistency and relevance.

The agenda progresses to analysing project information through comparisons, variances and trends, enabling performance to be interpreted across areas such as schedule, cost, quality, risk and stakeholder expectations. It then addresses the structure and design of dashboards, including the organisation of information, appropriate visual presentation and the communication of results to different audiences. The concluding topics connect dashboard interpretation with performance reporting, forecasting, management review and corrective action, before considering governance, accountability and the continuing refinement of KPIs, metrics and dashboards as project circumstances change.
