Project Portfolio Dataset

This dataset comprises a portfolio of six projects each having a PMB consisting of a budget derived from a standardised first-principles, bottom-up estimation technique utilising a homogeneous set of resources, both consumable and non-consumable, which are inter-related in a highly complex, multi-dimensional manner with appropriate correlation between quantity, productivity rates and cost rates. The data set also includes detailed time-phased actual costs and progress over the life of each project as well as the time-phased values of revenue claimed for each project. The collection and attribution of 12,139 actual costs and the measurement of progress over a period of just under 109 consecutive weeks is consistent and standardised across all six projects providing a unique differentiator to other datasets. The data was collected over a continuous 109 week period, and is valid for research in portfolio, program or project management or control of multiple resource-constrained projects, where projects are managed collectively, generally in a standardised manner to support a strategic business aim.
