Overview

This session moves beyond basic spreadsheets to demonstrate how Microsoft Power BI can transform project management reporting. Participants will learn how to connect Power BI to common project data sources (like MS Project, Excel, or Azure DevOps) to create dynamic, interactive dashboards. We will focus on the "Three Pillars of Control": Schedule, Cost, and Resources, showing you how to visualize variance and trends before they become crises.
