Project Management Dashboard

The Project Management dashboard provides a comprehensive view for project managers and executives overseeing project delivery. It focuses on overall project health, milestone progress, and risk management.

Access: Navigate to /dashboards/project-management

Overview Metrics

Metric	Description
Estimated Completion	Days until project completion with schedule variance indicator
Task On-Time Completion	Percentage of tasks closed by their due date
Weekly Task Velocity	3-week rolling average of tasks completed per week
Open High Risk Items	Count of open high-priority risks and issues

Widgets

Milestone Status

The Milestone Status widget shows progress for each project milestone:

Progress Ring - Visual completion percentage with color coding
Milestone Name - The milestone title
Due Date - Target completion date
Status Colors - Green for on-track, orange for at-risk, red for overdue

This widget provides at-a-glance visibility into milestone health across your project.

Tasks Remaining Chart

The burndown chart helps track project progress over time:

Solid Line (Actual Remaining) - Current number of open tasks
Dashed Line (Expected Remaining) - Ideal trajectory based on tasks due by each date
Summary Stats - Total tasks, actual remaining, expected remaining

When the actual line is above the expected line, the project is behind schedule. When below, you're ahead of schedule. The burndown chart is essential for identifying schedule risk early.

Activity Timeline

Shows recent project events:

Period Grouping - View activities by day, week, or month using the dropdown
Period Navigation - Use arrow buttons to move between time periods
Entity Filter - Filter by organization, team, or individual members
Date Picker - Jump to a specific date
Event Types - Task updates, comments, status changes, assignments, and more

The timeline displays activities with contextual icons showing what type of change occurred (created, updated, status changed, etc.).

Closed Issues per Team

A radial chart showing task distribution across teams. Use this to understand which teams are handling the most work and identify potential imbalances.

Open Approvals

A list of items awaiting approval decisions. Helps identify bottlenecks in the approval process.

Risk Register

A table of identified risks with status and mitigation plans. Critical for proactive risk management.

Decisions

A log of project decisions and their outcomes. Maintains a record of key choices made during the project.

Understanding the Metrics

Estimated Completion

This metric predicts how many days until project completion based on:

Current task progress - How many tasks are open vs closed
Weekly velocity - How fast tasks are being completed
Due date distribution - When remaining tasks are expected to be done

A positive variance means you're ahead of schedule; a negative variance means you're behind.

How It's Calculated:

Count total open tasks
Calculate average weekly completion rate (velocity)
Divide open tasks by velocity to estimate weeks remaining
Compare against original project timeline

Task On-Time Completion

This percentage shows how often tasks are completed by their due date:

Numerator - Tasks closed on or before their due date
Denominator - Total closed tasks that had due dates

Percentage	Interpretation
90%+	Excellent on-time delivery
80-89%	Good, but room for improvement
70-79%	Needs attention - investigate causes
Below 70%	Critical - address immediately

Weekly Task Velocity

Velocity measures team productivity using a 3-week rolling average. This smooths out weekly variations to show sustainable pace.

Open High Risk Items

Count of open items marked as high priority or high risk, including:

Tasks with "High" priority
Issues blocking other work
Risks without mitigation plans
Overdue items from key milestones
