Why Every Business Needs an Executive Dashboard?

An Executive Dashboard is a visual representation of real time progress of your team’s work. E it projects, costs, time, resource utilization and overall operational statistics at the organizational level that gives executives a quick and easy way to view their company’s performance.

The Executive Dashboard pulls all project information into one place so you don’t have to switch between projects. It can also provide data as per your requirement so the information is in a more meaningful format.

Significance of Executive Dashboard in Project Management 

• You sense that your company could be improving, but you have no idea how to tell for sure — or figure out exactly how you could be improving.
• You’re monitoring and/or gathering data but are meaningful and actionable.
• You’re wasting a lot of time trying to create tools to help you leverage your data.
• Your current solution isn’t giving you the ROI you need.
• Your competitors are leaving you behind in a trail of e-dust.

It gives executives numerous benefits including the following:

Visibility

An executive dashboard gives you great visibility and insight. You know exactly what’s going on in all aspects of your business. It allows you to better manage it and at times pre-emptively thereby saving you from precious waste of time and money.

Time Savings
