Information

Data that has been organized and processed for a particular purpose so it becomes understandable, valuable, and usable within a specific context.

Key Points

  • Information is data that has been organized, interpreted, and placed in context.
  • It is purpose-driven and tailored to support a specific decision or audience.
  • Quality depends on accuracy, completeness, timeliness, and relevance.
  • It transforms raw observations (e.g., work performance data) into insights like trends, variances, and forecasts.

Example

A project manager consolidates timesheets and task updates, calculates SPI and CPI, and presents a status summary to sponsors. The summarized metrics and narrative are information that supports decisions.
