Project Management BI Dashboard Enhancement for Engineering Operations
Business intelligence platforms are only as useful as the data feeding them and the questions they are designed to answer. An engineering and project-based organization had invested in Power BI but was not getting what they needed from it. Data connections were incomplete, dashboard structure did not reflect how the business operated, and the reports that existed were not trusted enough to drive decisions. The platform was in place. The problem was what had been built on it. They called BabyBots.

Strategic Impact
Rebuilding BI Infrastructure for Operational Clarity
Requirements Gathering and Data Assessment
The rebuild started with what the dashboards needed to answer, not what data was available. Requirements from engineering leadership and project managers established the specific decisions the reporting needed to support before any data connections were assessed or layouts redesigned.
Enhanced Dashboard Development
The dashboard suite was rebuilt around operational decisions, not available data fields. Corrected data connections, restructured layouts, and new tabs were designed around what the team needed to see, replacing the report structure that had been built around what was easiest to surface.
Validation and Documentation
The team signed off on metric accuracy before anything went live. All dashboard outputs were validated against source data, confirmed correct with the project management team, and documented covering data sources, calculation logic, and refresh schedules.
Actionable Metrics Design
Every element on every page has a defined audience and decision context. Metrics and visualizations were designed around the specific choices engineering leadership and project managers actually needed to make, rather than generic KPI coverage.
Self-Service Reporting Capability
The team can build and modify reports without returning to an external resource. Dashboards were configured for self-service use, with training and documentation enabling the team to extend the reporting layer independently as the portfolio grew.
