Two files. Everything you need either way.

Use the Excel dashboard on its own — it's the whole product for most PMOs — or follow the guide to rebuild the same thing as a live Power BI report.

📊

The Dashboard Template · XLSX

A working dashboard with realistic sample data already loaded across three sample projects — delete the samples, paste in your own, done.

  • 5 linked data sheets: Projects, Tasks, Milestones, Risks, Resources
  • Dashboard tab — KPI cards, per-project table, 3 charts, all formula-driven
  • Two control cells (Report Date, Reporting Weeks) recalculate everything
  • DAX Measures reference tab for the Power BI upgrade path
📘

The Setup & Build Guide · PDF, 9 pages

9-page guide: what each KPI means and why it's on the dashboard, how the data model fits together, and a full written walkthrough for Power BI Desktop.

  • The 6-KPI framework explained — formula and "how to read it" for each
  • 5-minute quick start for the Excel-only path
  • Step-by-step Power BI Desktop build (import → relationships → DAX → visuals)
  • Troubleshooting appendix for the five most common setup mistakes

Six metrics. Not forty nobody checks.

Each one maps to a different way a project quietly goes wrong — behind schedule, over budget, unmanaged risk, team over/under-loaded, or a missed milestone nobody flagged in time.

SPI — Schedule
EV ÷ PV

Above 1.0 = ahead of schedule, below = behind. The number that catches slippage before the go-live date does.

CPI — Cost
EV ÷ Actual Cost

Above 1.0 = under budget for the work delivered. The first number every sponsor asks for.

% Complete
AVERAGE(PctComplete)

Pairs with SPI — 60% complete can still be dangerously behind if the pace doesn't match.

Open Risk Exposure
Σ Probability × Impact

Should trend down over the life of a project, not up. A single 5×5 risk stands out immediately.

Avg. Utilization %
Logged Hrs ÷ Capacity

Over 100% flags burnout risk. Under flags idle time or unlogged off-plan work.

Milestones
On Track / At Risk / Late

Calculated live off one Report Date cell — no more manually re-tagging status every Monday.

Before you buy

Do I need Power BI to use this?

No. The Excel file works fully on its own — every KPI card and chart is a native Excel formula. Power BI is an optional upgrade path covered in Section 5 of the guide.

Does this include a real Power BI (.pbix) file?

No — you build the Power BI report yourself using the written walkthrough and the ready-to-paste DAX measures in the workbook. This keeps the toolkit editable and version-independent instead of locking you to one Power BI Desktop release.

Is there a video walkthrough?

Not yet — the guide is a detailed written walkthrough instead, which most buyers find faster to follow at their own pace and easier to keep open side-by-side with the workbook. If that changes, existing buyers get the update free.

Can I use this across multiple projects?

Yes — the sample data already models three concurrent projects rolling up into one dashboard. Add or remove ProjectIDs freely.

Who is this built by?

ACMPro — 25 years across IT and project management, corporate training and Power BI / analytics programmes. This toolkit is the same framework taught in those sessions, packaged to use immediately.
