Following the Project Advisory Group meeting of our industrial partners in the summer, and further feedback from industrial partners, the focus of research has been on the following areas: the configuration of prototype project dashboards and the development of the concept of engineering project health monitoring, and in particular, the proxies of performance of engineering projects – i.e. features of interest for project stakeholders. To address the latter a series of ethnographic studies are to be undertaken.

This could give project managers valuable early warning about potential issues:
Similarly, this example dashboard shows various information about aircraft repairs, using a visual representation of the aircraft and damage location:
