PM Dashboards

The dashboards are a perfect visual tool and the best way of getting in one diagram the relevant key information about whole project status, its progress, and performance. The use of dashboards allows summarizing the project data and results of project realization, to focus the audience's attention on project’s key points, to evaluate the project's progress and success, to make correct tactical decisions, to compare the current indexes of progress with expected ones, to detect the possible problems and places requiring increased attention, where corrective actions need to be taken instantly. Besides, the dashboards of different kinds allow representing the radically different project’s aspects, to look at it from different perspectives, and are perfect for using when making exhaustive and visual reports, which enhance the quality and convenience of communication stakeholders within a project team, and so contribute to faster achievement the success in realization the company's projects.

The PM Dashboards solution extends the management boundaries of ConceptDraw PROJECT and ConceptDraw DIAGRAM products with an ability to display clearly the identified key performance indicator (KPI) or the set of key performance indicators for specific project and to create dynamic information dashboards based on your project data. This solution provides you with a set of examples and ability to generate three types of visual dashboards reports in a form of ConceptDraw DIAGRAM documents Project Dashboard, Tactical Dashboard, and Radar Chart. By dynamically charting the project’s key performance indicators that are collected on one display, all project participants, project managers, team members, team leaders, stakeholders, and the entire organizations, for which this solution is intended, have access to the daily status of projects they are involved in. The PM Dashboards solution's reports visually demonstrate the changes to the budget status and clearly show the progress toward project’s objectives.

The PM Dashboards solution lets one transform the project data into visually attractive dashboards which update dynamically. In the PM Dashboards solution, we use ConceptDraw PROJECT to maintain the project data and ConceptDraw DIAGRAM for producing updated dashboards that are connected to live project data. The technology that enables constructing and updating the dashboards is our Live Object technology, contained within ConceptDraw DIAGRAM and allowing us to connect a complex object shape to an external data source so that dynamic updates happen from changes in the data. For the dashboard’s Live Objects, look in the “Business Dashboards” library.
