Office Relocation Project Dashboard
This is a practical guide to building a project dashboard for an office relocation project — a visual summary of the project’s key metrics and status, adapted to the realities of moving an office to new premises.
What a Project Dashboard is
A project dashboard is a visual summary of the project’s key metrics and status. For the full concept and how it works in general, see Project Dashboard. On an office relocation project it plays the same role, tuned to this kind of work.
Why it matters for an Office Relocation project
Office Relocation projects live or die on moving an office to new premises. A well-built project dashboard gives the team a shared, explicit reference for exactly that — reducing ambiguity, aligning stakeholders, and making problems visible early enough to act. Skipping it, or doing it generically, is how office relocation projects drift into avoidable delay and cost.
What to include
- Status indicators
- Schedule and cost KPIs
- Milestones
- Top risks/issues
Office Relocation-specific considerations
Tailor the project dashboard to the risks that most often derail office relocation projects:
- Minimising downtime
- IT and telephony cutover
- Staff communication
Example
On a real office relocation project, the project dashboard would be shaped by moving an office to new premises. In particular, it should explicitly account for the project’s biggest risks — minimising downtime, IT and telephony cutover, staff communication — rather than treating them as afterthoughts.
