Approach in Action

Project MIS, Data and Dashboards

One source of truth for the project: a simple information system and dashboards that managers and financiers actually use.

The problem we solve

Project units run on spreadsheets that do not agree: progress, procurement, finance and results data are collected separately and reconciled by hand before every mission. Decisions are late because nobody sees the whole picture.

Our method, phase by phase

Phase 1 of 5

Information needs

  • What managers, steering committees and financiers need to see
  • Current data flows and tools
  • Indicators and definitions agreed

Deliverable: Information needs and data map

Tick what your organisation already has: we show you where to start.
