Big data projects can accomplish a great deal, but they’re also extremely complex. You’ve got tons of data, lots of people involved, and not much time. Those teams have to make sense of tons of records. If they miss something, their findings aren’t worth much, and they could get in trouble for not following the rules. The trick is to keep everything organized without slowing things down.
That’s why leaders in data-heavy organizations look beyond siloed software when evaluating the best project management tools. They need systems to handle files, teamwork, and how everything is checked. Lark gives you that structure, so data teams can keep things under control and not miss anything important.
Streamlining approvals with Lark Approval
Moving models and insights into production often requires multiple approvals, whether it’s for budget sign-offs, compliance reviews, or stakeholder evaluations. If these approvals are delayed, the entire project stalls. Lark Approval streamlines this process by creating transparent digital workflows.
Requests are submitted, reviewed, and approved quickly, with outcomes logged for accountability. For example, before deploying a new financial model, the data science team can submit their validation results for review. Compliance officers and leadership can review and sign off, and the decision is recorded. This speed ensures deployment happens on schedule, while accountability satisfies strict regulatory requirements. This makes Lark a business process management software, giving teams the ability to manage large-scale complexity without missing important steps.
Organizing workflows with Lark Base
Lark Base
Big data projects involve multiple layers of activity: sourcing datasets, cleaning information, modeling, validating, and delivering results. Tracking all of this in spreadsheets is nearly impossible. Lark Base gives teams a structured platform where they can manage workflows clearly and flexibly.
Custom tables track client requests, proof-of-concept progress, and dependencies. Automations send reminders when deadlines approach or when client input is overdue. For example, during a large enterprise pitch, Lark, working as a CRM app, can track technical evaluations across departments, link them to client milestones, and ensure handoffs happen smoothly. Leaders gain visibility, and sales engineers focus on solving problems, not chasing updates.
Documenting data knowledge with Lark Docs
Lark Docs
When you’re doing big data projects, good documentation is just as vital as the analysis itself. Teams should keep all their assumptions, how they do things, and any compliance stuff in a single spot. If you don’t have good documentation, audits can be a nightmare later on. Staff will spend a ton of time trying to figure out what was going on in the first place. Lark Docs puts all this info in one place, so it’s easy to find and always correct.
Data engineers can put in their tech notes, analysts can lay out their methods, and compliance people can add links to the rules. Version history keeps track of every change, and permissions keep sensitive stuff safe. Let’s say you’re working on a healthcare project. You can use Docs to create a data dictionary that explains each field and where it came from. So, when the folks in charge ask questions, the team can just show them this one document instead of hunting around for notes all over the place.
Communicating clearly with Lark Messenger
When you’re doing projects with lots of data, you need people with different jobs to work together – like data engineers, analysts, people who make sure you’re following the rules, and bosses. If everyone just sends emails back and forth, things get confusing fast. Lark Messenger helps everyone chat quickly and in an orderly way, so you can keep up with how fast data changes.
You can make topic groups for each project so everyone knows where to go for info. When you reply to a message, it stays connected to the original question. People can react to messages to show they’ve seen them. For example, if an analyst sees something weird in the data, they can post it in Messenger. Then, engineers can share a fix, the compliance people double-check for any issues, and the bosses are up to date. This makes things faster and makes sure nothing gets missed.
Turning discussions into outcomes with Lark Meetings
Lark Meetings
Working with data usually means a lot of meetings to stay on the same page. Teams get together for sprint reviews, project updates, or chats with stakeholders to make sure things are moving forward. But if you don’t keep track of what’s decided, you can end up having the same talks over and over, which slows things down. Lark Meetings helps make sure every talk turns into action.
You can easily turn on subtitles and translate the meeting into 24 languages. By clicking AI Summary, notes can be generated by AI during meetings and will be saved automatically in Lark Docs, and recordings are shared in Lark Messenger so people who missed the meeting can catch up. Say, for example, that during a model validation meeting, analysts bring up accuracy worries. The things that need to be done to fix the inputs and rerun the models are noted right then and there. Then, weeks later, when stakeholders want to know how things are going, the documented results are right there to look at, which cuts down on confusion and extra work.
Managing deadlines with Lark Calendar
Lark Calendar
Big data projects usually work on repeat, like getting new info every day, reports each month, or yearly check-ups to follow the rules. If you miss these dates, people won’t trust what your data says. Lark Calendar gives you a simple way to see when things are due, so your team can plan things out.
Public calendars show when reports are due, when data is updated, and when audits happen. Also, for a training or meeting, you can easily create an event, check out others’ availability, settle down the location, date, time, and permission, and attach the files for discussion. If you make tasks right in Lark, they show up in the Lark Calendar, so you know what needs to be done for bigger tasks. Say you’re on the risk team at a bank. The Lark Calendar shows when stress tests are due, when you need to file papers with the government, and when you have team meetings. Everyone knows what’s coming up, so you can hit those dates without freaking out at the last minute.
Conclusion
Big data teams do well when they handle large amounts of information but still pay attention to small things. Lark Base, Docs, Messenger, Meetings, and Calendar give them tools to keep their work clear, docs solid, talks quick, and reviews safe. They can handle complicated stuff and meet all their deadlines.
