Get ready for a game-changer in project management! In January, Deltek Cobra will introduce Narrative Score, powered by Deltek Dela, your AI-powered business companion, into the Variance Analysis Report (VAR) justification text process. This innovative feature is designed to revolutionize how project managers handle variance analysis, making it more efficient and insightful than ever before.
What is Narrative Score?
Narrative Score in Cobra is a cutting-edge feature that evaluates the clarity, completeness and effectiveness of your VAR justification text. It provides a quantitative score that helps you ensure your justifications are compliant, compelling and easy to understand.
Why Cobra Customers Will Be Excited
By streamlining the creation and review of narratives, Narrative Score ensures that variance analysis reports are detailed, accurate and produced more efficiently. This means less time spent on administrative tasks and more focus on strategic project management, ultimately leading to better project outcomes and greater success for contractors. With Narrative Score, you will have:
- Enhanced Clarity: Narrative Score helps you craft clear and concise justifications, reducing misunderstandings and improving stakeholder communication.
- Improved Compliance: Scoring your text ensures that all necessary information is included, helping you effortlessly meet regulatory and contractual requirements.
- Time Savings: Spend less time revising and more time managing your projects. Narrative Score streamlines the review process, making identifying and correcting issues quicker.
How It Works
After activating the feature by connecting to your existing Azure OpenAI account, Narrative Score in Deltek Cobra provides feedback in several key areas to help improve the quality of your VAR justification text:
- Clarity: This evaluates how easily the reader can understand the text, ensuring that the language is straightforward and unambiguous.
- Completeness: Checks to ensure all necessary information is included and the justification covers all required aspects of the variance.
- Relevance: Assesses whether the information provided is pertinent to the explained variance, avoiding unnecessary or off-topic details.
- Readability: Analyzes the text for readability, including factors like sentence structure, word choice, and overall flow, to ensure the text is easy to read and follow.
- Compliance: Ensures that the justification meets regulatory and contractual requirements, helping to avoid any compliance issues.
These feedback areas help project managers create more effective and efficient VAR justifications, improving overall project communication and management.
