Why Data Visualization is Still a Challenge for Project Management Offices
When managing projects in Microsoft Project Online, PMOs and Executives face the need for data analytics and visualization. BI supports users to make informed decisions based on real-time data. However, deciding to connect Project Online to Power BI, they deal with some limitations:
- Manual configuration of connection and reports.
- Limited predefined reports.
- No historical data.
Moreover, organizations also spend much time collecting data, designing dashboards, and making the report look the way they want it to look.
These technical issues make data visualization a challenge. They increase the risk of delayed or inaccurate decision-making. So, PMOs and Executives need a robust data analytics solution and project reporting software that enables all capabilities of Power BI reporting with Project Online data.
