How to (and why!) get a Project Audit

The Project Audit – Explained

Are you or your team struggling with issues on your project? Do you have problems related to size, speed, and structure? If you answered ‘yes’, it might be time for a project audit.

When you schedule a project audit, you get a 116-point check which comprehensively examines your Archicad project.

Project audits help you identify the strengths and weaknesses of your current process. They are helpful for firms who need to discover hidden problems and get actual data that highlights areas for improvement.

For a small fee, the project audit can serve to remedy bad habits. Over 10 working days, your Professional Services Consultant will work with you to highlight where improvements can be made and identify additional services that may also help your workflow.

Any projects can undergo an audit, but keep in mind the best results are delivered when the submitted project represents a typical size and type for your firm and incorporates work from multiple team members.

A perfect time to obtain an audit is when firm productivity slows; the firm regroups, before employee development sessions, or when new hires come on board.

When you receive your completed project audit, a consultant will review the results with you and walk through the evaluations noted on a three-point system with an overall assessment from the following detailed categories:

• Library Management
• Project Management
• Attribute Management
• Project Settings
• Project Preferences
• Project Structure
• External Content
