    • It allowed project managers to run outcome predictions using current KPI’s
  • Stressful and rigid change management processes
    • The second placed team developed an app with a modern and sleek design to manage, communicate and visualise changes across a project. Built with IT suitability in mind this solution was “production-ready” within two days of development

    • The winning team developed a dynamic power BI report which assessed the effectiveness of existing site diaries, and the insight it can bring
    • The power BI dashboard showed key site factors that can impact productivity across various phases of a project.
    • The solution provided insight on how to automate site diary
