Dashboard of the Week on ProjectInsight !

Congratulations!

Our Project Performance Report and Dashboard was selected as a Dashboard of the week for DashboardInsight.com!

Here is more information about this Demo

This project was designed to demonstrate the use of Digital Project Management reporting tools. This Project Performance Report is for the management of the construction of 5 main offices for Arco Corporation in 5 South American countries (Argentina, Bolivia, Colombia, Paraguay and Perú). The estimated duration of the project is 24 months, and the approved budget is $17,000,000. The teams assigned to the project are Legal, Architecture, Engineering, Communications and Electrical. The Project Performance Report is intended to be used as a reporting tool for Arco Corporation at all organizational levels. However, because the Dashboard piece in particular will be used to update Regional Managers in Spanish-speaking countries, Arco Corporation required the Dashboard section of the tool to be written in both English and Spanish. In this demonstration, the supporting information included in the report could remain solely in English. In this demonstration, the concept of Earned Value Management is partially presented based on global standards from the Project Management Institute (PMI). Company names and all data are fictitious and were developed for demonstration purposes only.

Performance Report Panel Vs Dashboard

It is very common on these days to read about Digital Dashboards and how important they are for executives and companies. The problem is when we try to show all the information on a reduced space and when we try to fulfill all of our executive’s requirements. At that point the final product contains a lot of item that cause more distraction than help. I think that it is very useful to have a Dashboard as a part of a major repository, like a Performance Report, where all the supporting information is available. In that way, the user can easily see the Main Dashboard (which will provide enough information to support a decision) and access to the rest of the data if is needed.

The goal of an effective Dashboard

The goal of an effective Digital Dashboard is to provide Actionable Data/Information based on past which predicts future performance and trigger alerts to decision makers.
This should be the main goal, like the dashboard on the cars, you should be able to know the "Health" of your organization as soon as you see your Dashboard.
