Project Dashboards & Reporting with Power BI Training Course

The Project Dashboards & Reporting with Power BI Training Course equips project managers, PMO professionals, project control specialists, and analysts with the practical skills needed to design and build interactive, reliable, and decision-focused project and portfolio dashboards using Microsoft Power BI. In government entities, ministries, public authorities, banks, healthcare systems, energy and utility companies, construction, engineering, and technology organizations, and large corporations, leadership expects timely visibility of project status, milestones, cost, risk, resources, and benefits. Power BI enables PMOs to move from manual, spreadsheet-based status reports to automated dashboards that give sponsors and executives a consistent and current view of performance. Many PMOs spend significant time each reporting cycle collecting data from project managers, consolidating spreadsheets, and producing slide decks that are outdated by the time they are presented. Data may be inconsistent across projects, calculations may be performed manually, and reports may show large amounts of information without highlighting the issues and decisions that matter. Where Power BI has been introduced, dashboards may be difficult to maintain, built on poorly structured data models, cluttered with visuals, or shared without appropriate security and refresh arrangements. This hands-on course combines project reporting principles with practical, step-by-step use of Power BI. Participants learn how to define reporting requirements for different audiences, select meaningful project and portfolio KPIs, and design reports that support decisions. The program covers connecting to and preparing project data from common sources, including project scheduling tools, spreadsheets, SharePoint lists, and enterprise systems, using Power Query to clean, transform, and combine data, and building robust data models with relationships and date tables. Participants learn DAX fundamentals for creating measures such as variances, schedule and cost performance indices, milestone adherence, risk exposure, and time-based trends. The course then guides participants through building project dashboards for status and milestones, schedule and cost performance, earned value and S-curves, risks and issues, resources, and benefits, as well as portfolio-level views, applying design principles, interactivity features such as slicers, drill-through, bookmarks, and tooltips, and data storytelling. Participants also learn how to publish and share reports, set up data refresh, apply row-level security, establish report governance and data quality standards, and drive adoption. This course builds practical Power BI and reporting skills and is not an official Microsoft certification program. The course is delivered through intensive hands-on exercises in which each participant builds a complete project and portfolio reporting solution in Power BI using realistic project datasets. Participants leave with a reporting requirements template, a project KPI definition sheet, a Power BI data model for project reporting, a library of DAX measures for project performance, completed project and portfolio dashboards, a dashboard design checklist, and a report governance and refresh plan.
