Big Data for Project and Program Managers Training

When it comes to understanding target audience and customer’s preferences, big data plays a very important role for modern organizations.

Every business organization, small or big, needs valuable data and insights. It even helps anticipate customer needs.

The right data needs to be effectively presented and properly analyzed. It can help a business organization achieve various goals.

Project and program managers especially need to be cognizant of the opportunities from using big data effectively. For example, big data enables enhanced discovery, access, availability, exploitation, and provisioning of information within companies and the supply chain. It can enable the discovery of new data sets that are not yet being used to drive value.

Big data can also increase supply chain visibility and transparency through real-time control, and multi-tier (process, decision and financial) visibility irrespective of data location. According to the experts, the impact of enhanced corporate information availability on the visibility and transparency of the supply chain represents the second most relevant opportunity on the corporate level.

Additionally, with big data, companies are able to react quicker to changing market conditions, made possible through visibility and a deeper understanding of their information-enriched ecosystem. This can increase real-time responsiveness to customer needs and changing market conditions, reduce time-to-market, and increase the robustness of supply chains.

From the project or program manager’s point of view, Big Data doesn’t necessarily so much revolve around the amount of data as it does with what individuals and companies do with it. Data can be taken from any source and analyzed to find answers that enable:

  • Time reductions
  • Cost reductions
  • Smart decision making
  • Optimized offerings
  • New product development

The combination of advanced analytics with Big Data can produce important tasks in the business sector, such as determining root causes or failures, defects and issues in nearly real time.

From a technical perspective, big data technology typically refers to three viewpoints of the technical innovation and super-large datasets: automated parallel computation, data management schemes and data mining.

The big data technology ecosystem stack often includes:

  • Scalable storage systems
  • A computing platform
  • A data management environment
  • An application development framework
  • Oversight and management processes and tools
  • Layered packaged methods of scalable analytics
