TORONTO , Oct. 29, 2024 /CNW/ - As AI integration and the need for effective resource management reshape project portfolio management, organizations are encountering significant challenges from excessive project demand and inadequate supply of resources. Many projects are approved without sufficient support, leading to the risk of delays and disruptions to organizational goals.
In response, Info-Tech Research Group has published its blueprint Deliver Engaging Portfolio Reports With Power BI, providing portfolio managers with Power BI and Excel templates to boost project visibility, streamline resource allocation, and support strategic, data-driven decisions. "Almost half of those managing project portfolios still rely on Excel for official project lists, while some have moved to SharePoint," says Barry Cousins , Distinguished Analyst & Research Fellow at Info-Tech Research Group . "By any measure, Excel holds more project lists than any other tool.
Although there are many impressive project portfolio management solutions on the market, there aren't enough organizations adopting them." The newly published blueprint highlights the significant challenges organizations face in managing project portfolios. With project demand often exceeding the available workforce, many teams experience severe resource strain, and organizations are increasingly tasked with delivering comprehensive, real-time reporting on project performance.
Info-Tech's blueprint addresses these common challenges by offering strategies to streamline processes and optimize resource allocation using Power BI's robust visualizations. By implementing these tools, IT leaders can deliver data-backed insights to support strategic planning while maintaining the flexibility needed in today's dynamic landscape. While various PPM tools are available on the market, not all have proven to be successful across industries, highlighting the need for organizations to thoroughly assess their options.
In the blueprint, the firm highlights a rising demand for custom, home-grown portfolio reporting solutions as organizations seek to customize their reporting to specific needs. As these solutions evolve, IT leaders must seize opportunities for growth by mastering their portfolio data, optimizing workflows, and implementing structured reporting processes that support informed decision-making. Info-Tech emphasizes the critical importance of accurate reporting across the entire project portfolio while also guiding organizations through the process of selecting and implementing a robust portfolio reporting solution.
In Deliver Engaging Portfolio Reports With Power BI , Info-Tech outlines a comprehensive four-step approach for creating impactful project portfolio reports that empower decision-makers and enhance organizational visibility, including: By leveraging the insights from Info-Tech's blueprint, IT leaders can significantly enhance project visibility and reconcile the imbalance between supply and demand for their most valued and limited resource - their people. With customizable templates and a structured reporting paradigm, the comprehensive approach helps organizations transition from basic list management to a robust, scalable portfolio reporting solution that aligns executive vision with resource capacity and business outcomes.
