Your executives don't want more data. They want answers. Most dashboards fail because they're built for project managers, not leaders.
This template shows you exactly what executives need to see and how to present it. Use it to design a new dashboard or evaluate your current one against best practices.
The 5 Questions Your Dashboard Must Answer:
- Are we on track? (Schedule health)
- Are we on budget? (Financial health)
- What's at risk? (Top risks summary)
- What decisions do you need? (Escalation queue)
- What did we accomplish? (Progress & milestones)
What's Included:
- Portfolio Heat Map with defined R/Y/G criteria
- Decision Queue template with impact tracking
- Top Risks Summary format
- Resource Utilization view guidelines
- Data Quality Checklist (before you build)
