The role of big data technology in project schedule management: the case of Amazon

Abstract

With the rapid development of the Internet, big data technology has received widespread attention in the field of management. Traditional project schedule management methods cannot adapt to the complex and changing environment, and some researchers believe that big data technology has become a key tool to improve and optimize project management. However, there is a lack of mature theoretical systems and practical experience to guide the application of big data technology. Based on the case of Amazon, this paper analyses how the company uses big data technology to optimize project schedule management. It is found that the application of big data technology in project management brings significant benefits. It is able to provide empirical and innovative support for project schedule management. This paper discusses the application of big data technology in project schedule management, highlighting its capability to enable timely adjustments. Real-time monitoring and forecasting facilitate proactive management of project directions and potential risks. Moreover, it leverages real-time data to optimize resource allocation and enhance resource utilization. Furthermore, the paper addresses the challenges and proposes countermeasures associated with big data technology in this context. To tackle the issue of uneven data quality, a robust data collection mechanism should be established.
