03/03/08 Tip of the Week: Project Portfolio Management: Tip 7 - Use executive dashboards.
March 3, 2008 @ Project Management Tips of the Week from Mark Perry
Few executives will take the time to login to your PPM tool much less navigate through reports or search through data. They will no doubt want the PMO to have and use and master the PPM tool and its capabilities, but they themselves may or may not be so inclined. Whether within your PPM tool or external to it, maintain high-level executive summary dashboards that serve to both provide an executive overview of the status of the top projects of the portfolio and to provide direct access to the appropriate area of the PPM tool where useful reports and data can be immediately accessed.
