One thing that many people agree with is that the construction industry needs technology.
A messy and often chaotic industry, being organized and data-oriented can pay dividends.
From working with owner’s reps, to suppliers and city inspectors, there is a lot of data and tracking all of it can be simple enough.
I created an example project schedule dashboard that looks at Primavera P6 activities. Some of the metrics tracked include:
- Critical finishes that pushed
- Finishes pushed
- The % of finishes pushed
- Starts pushed
Using slicers, you can recreate some of these common reports that are used in weekly OAC meetings:
- 3-week look-ahead
- 6-week look-ahead
- Critical activities
- # of activities starting/finishing in the next week
- In progress activities
Open the dashboard in a new tab: https://app.powerbi.com/view?r=eyJrIjoiNzQ5ZDJlNTMtNjkzMi00MWZkLWEzNTEtODkxZTE3MzdiMWNkIiwidCI6IjcyN2VmOWY5LTc1YWQtNGFiMC1iNzg0LTdlNThiZDM5YjA5MSJ9
