Keep your project team, stakeholders, and management up-to-date on the status of all your projects from a single SharePoint page.
Don't waste one more minute compiling project data for reporting.
The SharePoint Project Portfolio Dashboard gives you a
simple view of the progress, health, and risk level of a single project,
or the projects in your entire project portfolio. Project Managers can
quickly communicate project status, cost, and budget information for each project using
any combination of configurable status indicator lists, issue meters, bar or pie charts, and Gantt view widgets. Project Managers can also display
project charters and executive summaries side-by-side with the charts and
graphs, providing a single, centralized location for stakeholders and
management to get project descriptions and status. All of the graphs,
charts and other summary information needed to track critical projects is
automatically compiled and displayed in a customizable dashboard layout.
The SharePoint Project Portfolio Dashboard lets you decide what to track,
and how to display it, giving stakeholders and managers better, more
up-to-date visibility into projects, without requiring project managers to
spend time and effort manually compiling charts and reports.
