Optimizing Project Scheduling with Bar Chart and S-Curve: A Mobile App Case Study
Subject area: Science,Engineering and Technology · Area of research: Construction Project Scheduling
Abstract
This case study examines the implementation of a Bar Chart and S-Curve feature within a mobile app used by the Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH), Nueva Ecija 1st District Engineering Office, aimed at enhancing project scheduling and management. Employing a qualitative approach, the study involved surveys, interviews, and observations with key participants to gather comprehensive data on the feature?s usability and effectiveness. Results indicate that the feature significantly improved scheduling efficiency, reduced project delays, and enhanced coordination among project stakeholders. However, challenges such as usability issues and the need for further training were identified, suggesting areas for improvement. This study underscores the potential of digital tools in transforming public sector project management and provides insights into the benefits and barriers of technology adoption in governmental settings.
