Developing a Dashboard to Aid in Effective Project Management
- 1. Developing a Dashboard to Aid in Effective Project Management Ali Yorkos and Maureen Murray SAS Developers, University of Central Florida
- 2. Introduction CMS Dashboard Project Dashboard - to enhance Project Management KPI(s) identified by Management Data Visualizations – High Level & Detail Views
- 4. Technical Development Approaches First – Tools Enterprise Guide SAS/GRAPH PROC GREPLAY Second – Tools Enterprise Guide SAS/GRAPH Stored Processes SAS BI Dashboard
- 5. Common Elements of each Technical Approach Table Development and Structure Computed Fields for Alerts Annotation facility
- 6. Table Structure and Relationships
- 7. SAS/GRAPH Development Annotation Feature
- 8. SAS/GRAPH Development Using the Annotated Dataset
- 9. First Technical Approach SAS/GRAPH Development PROC GREPLAY Bar size 2048
- 10. SAS/GRAPH Development Created in SAS Enterprise Guide 4 Vertical and Horizontal Bar Charts, Pie Charts Modified SAS code for more robust graphs Used .GIF format
- 11. PROC GREPLAY Procedure 0 1 3 5 2 4
- 14. Why We Switched Development Tools Management feedback from first design Requested different data visualizations Drill Down Capability requested for most data visualizations Release of SAS BI Dashboard to use with the SSL Security Protocol
- 15. Second Technical Approach Technical Design Develop all Top Level data visualizations using ONLY the BI Dashboard Tool But our functional design required the use of Stored Processes to create Dashboard Indicators.
- 16. Why? – Stored Processes Bar Graph with Reference Line Bar Graph - Stored Process
- 17. Second Technical Approach SAS/GRAPH Stored Processes to create Dashboard Indicators SAS BI Dashboard
- 18. Manage Dashboards Manage Indicators
- 19. Dashboard Properties Page Assembly Indicators into a Dashboard Portlet
- 21. Pros / Cons of Tool Sets GREPLAY Requires precise coding of coordinates for Indicator Placement No user customization available On-going Maintenance may require modifications to both Indicator generation and placement code .GIF Images were easier to line up but not as clear as ActiveX SAS BI Dashboard Easy to use Web based interface for Indicator Placement User customization allowed On-going Maintenance only requires modifications to Indicator generation code ActiveX Images were clearer and provided ‘mouse over’ support

Editor's Notes

- #3: Requested by IR Dept Management to enhance tracking and coordination of technical support activities. IR Management defined the KPI with varied and ‘Alerts’ and ‘Need to Review’ items such as: Alert example- a project that stays in User test status for > 10 days or Need to Review example - projects due with a week. Initial Design requirements: a mixture of text Alerts and graphical data visualizations with some detail data views.
- #4: – this is the end result of our development effort – this is our CMS Dashboard surfaced by the SAS BI Dashboard tool Due to the short amount of time we have we wanted to show the result of our development early into this presentation – the rest of the presentation how we achieved this result and answer the why to the technical choices we made.

- #5: Background – management viewed this project as an opportunity for 2 SAS programmers to gain analytic and technical experience in Dashboard development. So both Ali and were assigned the project. For the initial Dashboard we developed in parallel using the first technical approach after feedback from management of the first dashboard we spilt up the data visualizations and used the second technical approach. When we started development, the SAS BI Dashboard tool had not yet been released. Therefore, we referred to the SAS/GRAPH Dashboard samples available at support.sas.com for development ideas and techniques. Copyright © 2007, SAS Institute Inc. All rights reserved.
- #6: Common to each technical approach was the data preparation, the computations required to determine the Alerts etc… and our use of the SAS Annotation facility to enrich the graphs with Alerts or indicate areas of concern.. Copyright © 2007, SAS Institute Inc. All rights reserved.
- #7: The source of our data is several PS/Oracle tables from the university’s Computer Services Dept in-house developed Project Management System. A single de-normalized dataset was created from these 7 Oracle tables. To support the requested data visualizations 5 SAS datasets were then created from the de-normalized table.

- #15: Our management’s feedback requested different data visualizations and decided each visualization should include drill down capability to enhance the dashboard with detail data availability in conjunction with the high level at a glance functionality. Also, at this time SAS released the Dashboard tool which worked with the SSL protocol required by the university’s security policy for web/portal development.
- #16: We used SAS/Graph, Stored Processes and the SAS BI Dashboard tool. Copyright © 2007, SAS Institute Inc. All rights reserved.
