Hi,
I manage a team of PMs that cover 35 projects. I have to report to the board on the 35 projects each week. Does anyone have any ideas or an Excel template they could share.
Thanks
Reporting status on multiple projects
Quick question first of all.
Are you aware of what information your board would like to review and to what depth?
We have created several versions of a 'Project Dashboard' but the board often comment that it doesn't tell them what they need to know.

Hi Nick,
I guess in this situation, it would depend a great deal on the type of information that the board is keen on tracking on a continuous basis. For example, if the board must report to stakeholders such as funding authorities, then perhaps more financial information should be included. So, identifying the types of information required is paramount.

It would need to display:
- Budget
- Planned Spend to Date
- Actual Spend to Date
- Forecast to complete
- Forecast Total (Actual + Forecast)
- Variance
- Planned Day Rate
- Planned Spend to Date
- Actual Spend to Date
- Forecast to complete
- Total (Actual + Forecast)
- Variance
- Efficiency based against sold day rate
Hi,
Since you are handling multiple projects at one time so it would be best for you to go for a project management tool as it will help you a lot not only in reporting but also in collaborating and communicating for each project. I also handle multiple projects and for it I use ProofHub, in its dashboard current status of each and every project is visible thus helping me in reporting to my clients.
