Abstract
Many factors can influence the ongoing management and execution of technology projects within the corporate business environment. Some of these elements are known a priori during the project planning phase. Others may require real-time data gathering and analysis during project execution. These real-time project data elements are often neglected, misclassified, or otherwise misinterpreted during the project execution phase increasing risk of delays, quality issues, and missed business outcomes. The purpose of this research is to discover and analyze the impact, role, and level of influence of various project related data on the ongoing management of technology projects. The goal is to provide a balance to the subjectivity currently used by project managers as they assess and report on their respective project execution progress.
