POWER BI EXECUTIVE CONTROLSپک داشبورد مدیریتی Power BI

Executive clarity from Primavera P6 and MSP schedules, presented in Power BI.

A production-grade Power BI template (.pbit) that transforms complex P6 and MSP schedule data into decision-ready executive dashboards. Delivers interactive S-curves, milestone slip heatmaps, Earned Value KPI drilldowns, and portfolio WBS rollups — all without custom backend servers or expensive enterprise middleware.

The product question

Why do executive project dashboards take weeks to refresh and still fail to show root causes?

Project directors rarely have the time or P6 expertise to interrogate multi-thousand-activity schedules. Instead, planning teams spend days manually formatting slide decks and static PDF charts that are already outdated upon delivery. When a milestone slips, senior leadership cannot easily see whether it was caused by engineering approvals, procurement lead times, or civil construction delays. Off-the-shelf BI tools often stumble over schedule logic, calendar shifts, and proper cumulative progress weighting.

Key product decisions
01

A parameterised template, zero recurring cloud rent

Rather than locking the client into a subscription software-as-a-service, the solution is distributed as a clean, documented .pbit template. The client connects their native exports and retains full data sovereignty within their existing Microsoft ecosystem.

02

Pure DAX schedule mechanics

Schedule data requires careful time-intelligence calculations that respect project data dates, baseline variances, and working calendars. The template features optimized DAX measures for SPI, CPI, To-Complete Performance Index (TCPI), and cumulative progress curves that adjust dynamically to any WBS slicer.

03

Milestone slip matrix instead of plain lists

A table of delayed milestones tells what is late; a timeline matrix reveals the systemic pattern of slippage across reporting periods. Executives can immediately pinpoint whether slips are accelerating and identify cascade risks on the critical path.

04

Dual light and dark executive themes

Engineered to fit high-stakes boardrooms and corporate monitoring screens, with high-contrast data visualisations that prevent misinterpretation and meet corporate accessibility standards.

Current outcome

Current outcome

A high-performance executive dashboard suite deployed across multi-million dollar engineering and construction projects. Directors gain instant visibility into cost and schedule variance across contractors, whilst planners save 15+ hours every monthly reporting cycle.

My role

Data modeling, Power BI template architecture, DAX measure formulation, UI/UX dashboard layout, and P6/MSP export integration testing.
