1. Introduction
The purpose of this document is to provide sufficient detail to fully design and implement Business Intelligence Dashboards that support an Enterprise Project Management Solution (EPM), which consists primarily of Microsoft SharePoint Server 2010 and Microsoft Project Server 2010. It also includes detailed steps on how to replicate reports and dashboards included in the Project Server 2010 demonstration and evaluation pack available on the Microsoft Download Center. The purpose is to help you easily create reports and dashboards for your environment with similar characteristics. The target audience for this document is the business owner and report developers who are looking for a quick way to develop dashboards that will support an Enterprise Project Management Solution for their organization. This document is not intended to provide a comprehensive technical description of each of those reporting methods. Each reporting tool has been documented in extensive detail in books or various online forums, albeit not often documented in the context of a Project Server deployment. Where possible, links to additional information have been provided. For additional information on Microsoft Project Server 2010 business intelligence, see Business Intelligence in Project Server 2010.

Installation Prerequisites
Prior to commencing the design of the Business Intelligence Dashboards that will support an Enterprise Project Management Solution (EPM), there are a number of prerequisites that need to be met. However, they are beyond the scope of this document. Here are links to additional information: Project Server 2010 Service Application must be installed and configured. See Install and configure Project Server 2010 for more information. Project Server 2010 must be configured with a minimum set of custom fields. See Appendix A. SQL Server Reporting Services must be installed in SharePoint Integrated mode. See Initial Installation (Reporting Services) for more information. Excel Services Service application must be installed and configured. See Configure reporting for Project Server 2010 for more information. PerformancePoint Services Service Application must be installed and configured. See Deploying PerformancePoint 2010 Soup to Nuts, a blog article, for more information.

Document Structure
This document is structured with the following major sections: 1. 2. 3. 4. Understanding Report Types Creating Reports Creating Dashboards by using PerformancePoint Services Creating a Dashboard by using Web Parts page

2. Understanding Report Types

SharePoint Server 2010 and Project Server 2010 enables dashboard authors and users to easily view and use a variety of report types, including analytic charts and grids, Excel Services reports, SQL Server Reporting Services reports, and many others. This section provides an overview of the different kinds of reports that you might use in your EPM dashboard: Excel Services reports PerformancePoint analytic charts and grids SQL Server Reporting Services reports

The following report types can also be implemented part of an overall Business Intelligence strategy. However, they are beyond the scope of this document: Visio Services PowerPivot PerformancePoint Scorecard PerformancePoint Strategy Map PerformancePoint KPI Details Reports

Excel Services Reports

Excel Services reports are used to display Microsoft Excel spreadsheets or items that are in an Excel workbook, such as PivotTable reports, PivotChart reports, or a section in a worksheet. An Excel Services report might resemble the following image:

6 | Understanding Report Types

Figure 1: Excel Services Report Example

Excel Services reports can use data that is stored in Analysis Services, a SharePoint list, a table in SQL Server, an Excel workbook, or in Excel Services in Microsoft SharePoint Server 2010. Project Server 2010 includes ten default Excel Services reports for enterprise project management (EPM) reports: Simple Project List Milestones Due This Month Resource Capacity Issues and Risks Deliverables Timesheet Actuals Rejected Projects Top Projects Workflow Chart Workflow Drilldown

In addition, Project Server 2010 includes fourteen default Excel Services templates for enterprise project management (EPM) reports generated out of Analysis Services. Assignment Non Timephased Assignment Timephased Deliverables EPM Timesheet Issues MSP_Portfolio_Analyzer

Creating Dashboards for Microsoft Project Server 2010 | 7

MSP_Project_SharePoint MSP_Project_Timesheet Project Non Timephased Resource Non Timephased Resource Timephased Risks Task Non Timephased Timesheet

Similar to analytic charts and grids, Excel Services reports are typically highly interactive. Users can click to see lower levels of detail. Users can export these reports to Microsoft PowerPoint or Excel and apply filters to them.

PerformancePoint Analytic Charts and Grids

PerformancePoint Analytic charts and grids are used to display information in highly interactive charts and tables (known as grids). These reports enable dashboard users to quickly and easily explore complex data without having to write queries. An analytic chart might resemble a bar chart, as shown in the following figure:

Figure 2: PerformancePoint Analytic Chart Example

Analytic charts and grids use data that is stored in Microsoft SQL Server Analysis Services. Project Server 2010 has the ability to build multiple databases for OLAP analyses by using SQL Server Analysis Services. Each database can be limited to a specific date range, with independent sets of projects and resources filtered by one or more departments. In addition, each Analysis Services database includes 14 default cubes for enterprise project management (EPM) reports. Following are the fourteen EPM cubes:

8 | Understanding Report Types

Assignment Non Timephased Assignment Timephased Deliverables EPM Timesheet Issues MSP_Portfolio_Analyzer MSP_Project_SharePoint MSP_Project_Timesheet Project Non Timephased Resource Non Timephased Resource Timephased Risks Task Non Timephased Timesheet

Users can add calculated measures to any of the cubes by using an MDX expression. For example, users can add a resource availability calculated measure to the Virtual Portfolio Analyzer cube. These reports are highly interactive. Using a mouse, EPM Business Users can typically do all of the following in analytic charts and grids: Drill down or up to see lower or higher levels of detail. Sort items in ascending or descending order. Filter out empty rows or columns, isolate an item, or remove an item from the report view. Apply top or bottom members in a group. Apply value filters, such as items greater than or less than an amount that you specify. Pivot a grid, or change a grid to an analytic chart. Use Additional Actions, which are defined in the Analysis Services cube. Show or hide information that is included in the chart or grid. Work with pages of grid data (useful when a query returns a large set of results). Launch a Decomposition Tree to view more information about a particular report value.

SQL Server Reporting Services Reports

SQL Server Reporting Services reports are reports that have been published to Reporting Services. Reporting Services reports can resemble tables or charts, and they can include their own filters, which are sometimes called parameters.

Creating Dashboards for Microsoft Project Server 2010 | 9

A Reporting Services report might resemble the following image:

Figure 3: SQL Server Reporting Services Report Example

Reporting Services reports are typically highly interactive. Depending on how the reports are configured, dashboard users can explore data by clicking, sorting, and scrolling through pages. In addition, users can do the following: Preview, adjust, and print one or more pages in the report. Apply one or more parameters without having to rerun a query to the database. Parameters are built-in filters that are specific to the report. Export data as image files, Adobe PDF files, Web files, or other formats that Microsoft applications recognize.

KPI Department per %

The KPI Department per % report is a histogram chart that displays traffic light weighted scores for each department. This report is generated from a custom SQL Server table (IPMO_DepartmentalKPIvalues) designed by Piet Remen from i-PMO that converts the project traffic light text values into weighted scores. The stored procedure is available in Appendix B.

4. Creating Dashboards by using PerformancePoint Services

This section includes detailed steps on how to replicate the dashboards included in the Project Server 2010 demonstration and evaluation pack available on the Microsoft Download Center. Those dashboards were created by using PerformancePoint Services, which allows users to assemble a library of reporting assets which may then be combined into any number of project or portfolio dashboards. Additionally, PerformancePoint allows users to create reporting components that may be reused in multiple customized dashboards. The purpose of this section is to help you easily create reports and dashboards for your environment with the following characteristics: Excel Services report from a custom SQL Server table. Excel Services report from out of the box Analysis Services cubes. SQL Server Reporting Services reports that use Report Designer 3.0 PerformancePoint Analytical Chart from out of the box cubes. Dashboards incorporating Excel services, SQL Server Reporting Services, and PerformancePoint controlled with parameters.

The next sections of the document describe how to create the following dashboards.

Creating Dashboards for Microsoft Project Server 2010 | 61

Figure 16: Example of a Dashboard Page 4 created with PerformancePoint

PerformancePoint Reports
In order to use PerformancePoint to create dashboards, it is required to convert reports previously created into content types that can be consumed by PerformancePoint. The following section highlights how to perform that. Note that this is only required for Excel Services and SQL Server Reporting Services reports as PerformancePoint charts are by definition PerformancePoint content types.

Filters
Users can use PerformancePoint Dashboard Designer to create many kinds of dashboard filters. For example, dashboard filters that are stand-alone dashboard items can be reused across multiple dashboards or across multiple pages in a dashboard. Analytic reports and scorecards can be created that use built-in filters to display particular information. This section explains how to create the following filters: Department Time

Excel Services Reports

By using PerformancePoint Dashboard Designer, you can create Excel Services reports for your dashboards. An Excel Services report is a Microsoft Excel workbook that was published to Microsoft SharePoint Server 2010 by using Excel Services. Most Excel Services reports contain one or more charts and tables. When you add an Excel Services report to a PerformancePoint dashboard, you reuse an existing report that can contain views, such as PivotTable reports and PivotChart reports, which you cannot create by using Dashboard Designer. For more information, see Create an Excel Services Report by using Dashboard Designer. This section of the document highlights how to create PerformancePoint reports for the following Excel Services reports: KPI Department per % Project Cost per Department Resource Availability by Role Timesheet Reconciliation List

6. Conclusion
102 | Conclusion

The purpose of this document is to provide sufficient detail to fully design and implement Business Intelligence dashboards that support an Enterprise Project Management Solution (EPM), which consists primarily of SharePoint Server 2010 and Project Server 2010. Specifically, this document examines the two main ways of creating dashboards by using: PerformancePoint Services SharePoint Web Parts page

PerformancePoint Services is a more comprehensive method for creating dashboards as it allows users to assemble a library of reporting assets which may then be combined into any number of project or portfolio dashboards. Also, it allows the creation of filters that can function on stand-alone dashboard items, across multiple dashboard items or across multiple pages in a dashboard. It also includes detailed steps on how to replicate reports and dashboards included in the Project Server 2010 demonstration and evaluation pack available on the Microsoft Download Center. The purpose is to help you easily create reports and dashboards for your environment with similar characteristics. For additional information on Microsoft Project Server 2010 business intelligence, see Business Intelligence in Project Server 2010.
