Enhance PPM Dashboards and Reports

Your organization has introduced project portfolio management (PPM) processes that require new levels of visibility into the project portfolio that were not required before.
Key PPM decision makers are requesting new or improved dashboards and reports to help support making difficult decisions.
Often PPM dashboards and reports provide too much information and are difficult to navigate, resulting in information overload and end-user disengagement.
PPM dashboards and reports are laborious to maintain; ineffective dashboards end up wasting scarce resources, delay decisions, and negatively impact the perceived value of the PMO.

Our Advice

Critical Insight

Well-designed dashboards and reports help actively engage stakeholders in effective management of the project portfolio by communicating information and providing support to key PPM decision makers. This tends to improve PPM performance, making resource investments into reporting worthwhile.
Observations and insights gleaned from behavioral studies and cognitive sciences (largely ignored in PPM literature) can help PMOs design dashboards and reports that avoid information overload and that provide targeted decision support to key PPM decision makers.

Impact and Result

Enhance your PPM dashboards and reports by carrying out a carefully designed enhancement project. Start by clarifying the purpose of PPM dashboards and reports. Establish a focused understanding of PPM decision-support needs, and design dashboards and reports to address these in a targeted way.
Conduct a thorough review of all existing dashboards and reports, evaluating the need, effort, usage, and satisfaction of each report to eliminate any unnecessary or ineffective dashboards and design improved dashboards and reports that will address these gaps.
Design effective and targeted dashboards and reports to improve the engagement of senior leaders in PPM and help improve PPM performance.
