Discover how to connect your project data (from Excel, Microsoft Project, or other sources) into interactive dashboards that provide instant clarity on timelines, budgets, milestones, and resource performance.

You’ll see how to build project KPIs, visualize progress vs. plan, and share live reports with stakeholders - all while reducing time spent on manual reporting.
