Abstract
In the variable situations of today's projects, project managers need comprehensive and structured information for making decisions in the areas of project management. One of the most effective strategies employed in recent civil projects is use of the concept of Project Management Dashboard. Project Management Dashboard is a set of key performance indicators of the project that improves integration process and exhibits information required for project manager. The purpose of this article is to collect the whole set of information indicators for project management dashboard framework, so that the selected indicators can have the ability to display all aspects of project performance.For this purpose, after studying various information indicators suggested in the literature, 60 important indicators of performance evaluation in projects have been collected and classified. Then, in a field study, applied indicators in contracting systems of some large-scale projects in the construction industry have been identified and added to previous studies. Based on observational studies and objective observations conducted in this area, a questionnaire was designed based on the Likert scale and given to a group of managers and construction project management professionals. In this questionnaire, the sampled people, who have studied, prioritize 60 indicators in 10 fields of Project Management (based on PMBOK2012). The data obtained from the questionnaires using Friedman prioritized test are analyzed.The findings of this research offer a list of the most commonly used indicators in the 10 management fields of construction industry projects, such as Time Management, Cost Management, Quality Management, Procurement Management, Safety Management, Claim Management and Environmental management, based on international studies and terms of internal projects. Project Management Dashboard that is designed using these indicators enables contractor project managers to identify and manage the most important issues which influence the performance of the project.
