Notes 8.4 Data Collection and Reporting Phases

This document takes a comprehensive view of the processes that occur during each phase of data
collection and reporting, once a data need has been identified. It guides the reader step by step
through these processes, from the initial articulation of a data need through the fulfillment of
the data requirement. The following six phases form the conceptual framework in which the
Standards have been developed and organized:
1. Management of Data Collection and Reporting,
2. Design,

3. Data Collection,
4. Data Preparation and Processing,
5. Data Analysis, and
6. Reporting and Dissemination of Data.

Task Discuss about data collection and reporting phases.

8.5 Project Control

Definition of Project Controls

The traditional view of Project Controls as defined by PMBOK has been cost & schedule during
the project execution phase. Although this view is persuasive in industry, we believe an effective
Project Controls process can be applied in a collaboration of its various sub-disciplines, such as:
1. Planning, Scheduling & Project Reporting

(a) Scope management;
(b) Project deliverables;
(c) Work breakdown/Cost breakdown structures;

(d) Schedule management;
(e) Schedule forecasting;
(f) Corrective action;
(g) Progress measurement/reporting;
(h) Productivity Analysis & Calculation;

2. Earned Value Analysis & Management
3. Cost Engineering & Estimating
(a) Estimating;

(b) Cost management;
(c) Cost control; and
(d) Cost forecasting.
