Gut feelings are good. But data makes them stronger.

As Project Managers, we often rely on our intuition to make quick calls. That’s important — but without data, intuition can feel like guesswork.

Every decision we make affects the budget, the timeline, and the team. That’s why I lean on data; whether it’s through simple dashboards, risk logs, or performance metrics.

With data, we don’t just manage projects…

We start to see the patterns.
We anticipate what’s coming next.
We guide our teams with more clarity and confidence.

At the end of the day, data doesn’t replace leadership — it makes us better leaders.

I’m curious, how do you use data to support your project decisions?
