Earned Value Management (EVM) is a Project Control process for measuring project performance, identifying problems and predicting project outcomes. EVM integrates schedule, cost, and performance data in a structured manner, to provide timely, accurate reports to facilitate proactive management decisions. EVM is proven to have a significant, positive impact in delivering successful projects, and is fast becoming a mandatory requirement for projects, large and small.
D2 has significant experience in developing and implementing Earned Value Management Systems (EVMS) for large-scale capital investment programmes and major transport infrastructure projects.
Our team has the skills and tools to help clients develop data structures; produce and maintain robust Performance Measurement Baselines (PMB); design and automate periodic reporting processes; and build custom Earned Value Analysis (EVA) reports to visualise performance data and easily identify variances and trends.
Data Visualisation enables project information to be communicated clearly and effectively, so that relevant information is available to inform management action and decision making.
D2 recognise that timely, accurate project reports are an effective management tool for identifying and understanding potential issues that may influence the successful outcome of a project.
Our team has substantial expertise in designing bespoke dashboard report templates and processes, to provide easy to digest information for a wide variety of applications, including: schedule milestone performance; blockade/possession management; Earned Value Analysis (EVA); KPI/KRA performance; and commercial models.
KPI’s and KRA’s measure performance of specific areas or functions identified as significant to successful project delivery or business operations. KPI’s can be tailored from project to project, or designed as a framework to compare projects across programmes or portfolios.
D2 are experienced at designing and developing KPI frameworks and scoring criteria, to provide actionable feedback to achieve the desired project performance and team behaviours. Dashboard reports provide summary or detailed analysis of each KPI/KRA, to highlight areas of under achievement and performance trends.
In D2, our dedicated Data Science team stands at the forefront of innovation, leveraging cutting-edge techniques to extract valuable insights from complex datasets. With a steadfast commitment to precision and a passion for problem-solving, we empower businesses to make informed decisions and drive meaningful outcomes. By combining expertise in Data Analytics, Data Engineering, Data Architecture, Statistical Modelling, and Machine Learning, we unlock the true potential of data.
Data Science and Analytics play a pivotal role in decision-making and performance monitoring. Through extracting meaningful information from raw data, we are able to provide key insights while ensuring that through continuous improvements, the outputs remain relevant and valuable.
By leveraging statistical modelling and data mining techniques, we discover patterns, trends, and anomalies within the data and help customers identify emerging opportunities and proactively address potential challenges. Through visualisation tools like Power BI and Tableau, we specialise in developing Business Intelligence Dashboards centred on core metrics, prioritising seamless data flow from collection to deployment. These visuals are thoughtfully structured to meet specific reporting requirements, providing a comprehensive overview of the data at various stages. With the advanced data analytics and visualisation solutions we provide, stakeholders have direct access to critical metrics and profound insights.
Our data science team has a solid foundation in statistics analysis and machine learning techniques, spanning from algorithm designs, advanced modelling, to high-performance computing and cloud computing. We have experience in a wide range of applications, including anomaly detection, value forecasting, and recommendation systems. Using historical and live data from various data sources, we provide customers with competitive solutions that best suit their business needs.
In an area of rapid development of BIG DATA and Machine Learning, we are always staying attuned to the cutting-edge techniques and looking to the future to ensure we sit at the forefront of Data Science. With a commitment to innovation and a forward-thinking proactive mindset, we support our customers’ continued growth.
At D2, we deliver bespoke data architecture solutions for customer projects, tailored to customers’ diverse and evolving business needs and requirements. Our data architecture solutions help customers efficiently manage and utilise data from multiple data sources and various platforms, such as Microsoft Power Platform, Oracle Cloud, AWS, Azure, and GCP to make informed decisions. With timely analytical reporting and innovative data solutions, we can facilitate seamless collaboration across the organization.
Our strategic data management solutions embed advanced data security measures such as row-level security and role-based access control. These techniques not only ensure that data is accessible to authorised users, but also that users interact with the data with the appropriate permission levels. The crafted solutions we build for our customers promote streamlined data access management and reduce administrative overhead while adhering to industry standards and compliance.
We are committed to fully gaining the true value from our client’s data. By ensuring the data is communicated in a form which is easily consumed by varying stakeholders, we are able to provide insights to all users. We work closely with our clients to develop Standardised User Interfaces with brand awareness, which provides familiarity between Reporting Dashboards, encouraging cross group collaboration, and understanding of Dashboard operation and functions. By ensuring we truly acknowledge our clients’ requirements of the full reporting suite, we able to design an Ecosystem of Digital Reporting, promoting a holistic view.
Through the addition of bespoke toolsets within our dashboards, we drive to innovate in custom functionality, further enhancing the User Experience. With the use of these advanced features, we are able provide a truly unique way to interact and navigate through our Dashboards.
Through the use of Data Engineering techniques, we design, build, and maintain systems for collecting, storing, processing, and analysing data at scale, helping our customers to interpret and harness the full potential of substantial amounts of data.
We provide the expertise in programming languages such as Python, Scala, R, combined with a robust understanding of Relational and Non-Relational Databases. We are able to streamline the flow of data utilising the ETL (Extract, Transform, Load) process with tools such as Talend Informatica, Amazon Redshift, Apache Airflow, Hadoop, and Power Query.
Utilising tools such as Hadoop, MongoDB, and Kafka, we manage and process BIG DATA giving us the ability to store and operate on multiple types of datasets simultaneously and utilising their scalability, speed, and durability. We drive the performance and reliability our client’s data through the application of our cloud solutions team’s expertise in platforms such as AWS, Azure, GCP.
