Power BI for Project Management: 10 Best Dashboard Examples

Best for: PMO and executive reviews of portfolio health, value, cost, progress, and risk

This ZoomCharts report starts with portfolio health and distribution, then moves into financial value and approval before opening a detailed view of one project. The overview covers stakeholder confidence, forecast cost, expected benefit, lifecycle stage, complexity, priority, delivery model, and location.

The project view is where the design earns its space. Select a project to check cost variance, forecast benefit, critical risks, overdue milestones, schedule, resources, and current status. It suits a PMO that needs an executive summary without losing the route to project-level detail.

2. Power BI Project Management Dashboard for Portfolio Health

Best for: Checking portfolio risk, budget performance, schedule performance, and delivery efficiency

Abdelrahman Mohammed built this two-page report around the questions raised in a portfolio review. It tracks active and completed projects, predicted at-risk projects, Cost Performance Index, Schedule Performance Index, milestone completion, late milestones, and over-budget projects.

Filters for country, risk, project size or complexity, and status let users narrow the portfolio quickly. A roadmap, scatter view, budget trend, and risk watchlist give the report enough detail for follow-up without turning the opening page into a project register.

3. Project Management Dashboard in Power BI for fintech projects

Best for: Connecting delivery, budgets, hours, employee performance, tasks, risks, and milestones

Akindele Omolayo created this three-page report for the FP20 Analytics ZoomCharts Data Challenge 32. The first page covers project status, budget usage, risk level, and budget trends. The other pages connect employee and task performance with cost efficiency, resource use, and milestone delays.

Users can drill into departments, products, project IDs, and milestones. A metric switch moves between budget and hours, which is handy when a delivery problem needs to be checked from both the cost and workload side.

4. Power BI Project Management Dashboard and PMO Template

Best for: A structured PMO report with project overview, delivery performance, task tracking, and resource filters

This four-page template by Agbata Dickson Ukolojo compares planned and actual budget, cost variance, planned and actual hours, and time variance. It also tracks on-time delivery, project manager efficiency, task efficiency, task status, and priority.

Its drill paths are carefully chosen: risk level to priority, year to quarter, and project name to task name. Filters for country, completion year, and employee experience add context for teams that manage work across locations or mixed-seniority teams.

5. Power BI Fintech Project Management Dashboard

Best for: A concise view of projects, budgets, tasks, milestones, and workforce performance

Akshay Patil created this three-page report, the winning entry in the FP20 Analytics ZoomCharts Data Challenge 32. It covers project progress, task and milestone completion, budget utilization, resource efficiency, and employee performance across teams and roles.

The report uses a small set of visual types across its pages. Bubble charts compare related measures, horizontal bars rank results, and donut charts break down categories. It is a strong reference when you want interactive analysis without filling the canvas with many different chart styles.

6. Fintech Project Management Dashboard in Power BI

Best for: Comparing budget, hours, project work, milestones, labor cost, and employee experience

Nina Ikpe splits this three-page dashboard into a portfolio overview, project and task performance, and resource and experience analysis. The report pairs budget utilization and variance with planned and actual hours, task completion, milestone delays, labor cost, and hourly rate.

You can drill by country, city, project, department, and task, then switch between financial and hours-based measures. That is useful when an overspend needs a closer look: the source may be extra hours, a higher rate, or the work attached to a particular project or team.

7. Power BI Project Tracking and Team Performance Dashboard

Best for: Reviewing project health, resource contribution, timelines, team activity, and risk

Sushree Jena uses four pages to separate project performance, resources, timelines, team activity, and risk. The division is practical. A reader can start with overall health, move into time or resources, and compare teams without asking one page to carry the entire report.

Scatter, combo, horizontal bar, timeline, and donut visuals support different questions while keeping the interaction consistent. Select an active chart element and the related visuals update, so the route from the portfolio view to a smaller group stays clear.

8. Power BI Employee Performance and Project Planning Dashboard

Best for: Seeing how employee workload, labor cost, and performance connect with projects and tasks

Crystal Andrea Dsouza brings employee and project data together in three pages. Measures include planned and actual hours, employee efficiency, hourly rate, labor cost, project and task status, risk level, completion percentage, planned dates, and task duration.

The employee view compares departments and people by experience, hours, efficiency, and cost. Project planning adds status, priority, dates, duration, and risk. It fits organizations where capacity planning is part of the project conversation, rather than a separate workforce report.

Nnamdi Nwankwo designed this three-page Power BI report to examine project delivery in payment solution development. Its stated focus is delivery efficiency, resource allocation, and overall project performance.

The report combines scatter, combo, horizontal bar, timeline, and donut visuals. That gives developers a useful reference for matching a chart to the question: relationships between measures, ranked comparisons, change over time, and category breakdowns all have a distinct place.

10. Power BI Fintech Project Financial Performance Tracking

Best for: Combining project finance, delivery timelines, location, and portfolio comparisons

This three-page report by Anuoluwapo Odunayo Aliu combines project portfolio analysis with financial performance and delivery timelines. Users can compare projects across categories and statuses, review differences in financial measures, and use scatter analysis to check relationships between project measures.

A geographic view adds location to the analysis, while timeline and category charts keep the delivery story visible. Choose this layout when place matters to the portfolio, or when finance and schedule need to be reviewed together instead of in separate reports.
