What is a Project Scorecard?

A Project Scorecard, or Project Health Report, is a project management tool used for tracking the overall progress of your projects compared to the goals you have set. Construction professionals use project scorecards to easily track their key performance indicators across all their projects at once.

These performance metrics include: workdays ahead of schedule, project cost basis, gross profit margin, and budgeted vs. remaining man hours. A project scorecard assigns a score based on how healthy these metrics are, given your strategic goals.

Why should I use a Project Health Report?

Project Health Reports are a crucial part of any construction management software, providing the contractor with high-level views of the overall progress of every project. Project Health Reports provide business intelligence data, often organized into a project management dashboard, to quickly and clearly communicate if projects are on time and on budget.

When organized into project scorecard templates, these reports use scoring systems to compare the ROI of each project. These ROI metrics include schedule progress, job profit, to-do completion, punch list completion, and labor efficiency.

By tracking projects at a high level, the contractor can better ensure that strategic goals are met. This results in money and time saved on current and future projects.

How can I better measure my project success?

Measuring your construction project’s success is important for continuing to grow your business and generate a profit. Accurately measuring success requires both a high-level view, as provided in a scorecard template, and a day-by-day or project-by-project view.

Setting strategic goals and deadlines to achieve those goals is important for being able to track your success. Goals provide your project team with a target to work towards and a standard to compare their progress to. You can check out our tips for measuring project success to learn how to best set and track those goals.
