The PMO dashboard that answers the questions your board actually asks
A modern PMO dashboard needs to answer three questions in five seconds: what's on track, what's at risk, and what needs a decision. Pocket PMO's dashboards are built exactly around those three signals — with predictive scoring, live RAG and one-click board packs.
Portfolio RAG in real time
Aggregated project health across the portfolio, refreshed on every update — no more Monday-morning spreadsheet crunch.
Completion Probability
A 0–100% predictive score per project, so you know which ones will actually land before steerco.
Execution Friction
A live 0–100 stuckness score highlighting blockers, stalled tasks and dependency deadlock.
Capacity heatmap
See who is over-allocated, who has headroom, and where the portfolio needs rebalancing.
Programme milestones
Cross-project milestone view with dependency lines and slip forecasts.
One-click board packs
Generate an exec-ready portfolio snapshot in under 10 seconds — shareable link, PDF or slide export.
What a good PMO dashboard should show
Most PMO dashboards fail because they show everything. Every risk, every task, every milestone — in one impenetrable grid. That's a data dump, not a dashboard. A useful PMO dashboard is opinionated: it surfaces the six or seven signals that actually change decisions.
- Portfolio RAG — the overall traffic-light view, with drill-down to the projects driving red.
- Predictive delivery — probability of landing on time, not just what has happened.
- Top open risks and issues — the five items your sponsor should know about, curated automatically.
- Milestones next 30 days — what's due, what's slipping, what's dependent.
- Capacity and utilisation — who's overloaded, where the bench is.
- Change velocity — new change requests, decisions pending, decisions overdue.
- Benefits realisation — the "so what" — are the projects delivering the outcomes they promised?
Pocket PMO's dashboard defaults to exactly this layout — and every widget is customisable per persona (PM, PMO lead, sponsor, exec, support).
PMO dashboard KPIs that actually matter
Cut the vanity metrics. These are the KPIs a modern PMO dashboard should track:
- Schedule Performance Index (SPI) — earned value vs planned. Anything under 0.9 needs attention.
- Completion Probability — the forward-looking version of SPI.
- Open risk exposure — sum of (probability × impact) across the register.
- Overdue tasks % — the fastest leading indicator of a project going red.
- Change decision latency — how long changes sit "pending" — the silent killer of momentum.
- Benefits confidence — the PMO's job isn't outputs, it's outcomes.
From dashboard to decision
A PMO dashboard is only useful if it drives decisions. Pocket PMO closes the loop: from any widget you can escalate a project, log a portfolio risk, generate a snapshot for the board, or ask the AI team to draft an action plan for the exec — all in a few clicks and all subject to your approval.
That's the difference between a reporting layer and a delivery platform. See it in action on the features page, or read our take on RAID reporting and how it feeds a modern PMO dashboard.
Frequently asked questions
Can I customise the PMO dashboard per role?
Yes. Pocket PMO has persona-based dashboards — PMs, PMO leads, sponsors, execs and support all see a different default layout, and each user can rearrange widgets to fit their workflow.
Does it work for a fractional PMO with multiple clients?
Yes. Fractional PMOs can run multiple client workspaces from a single account with strict data separation and a client switcher on every page.
How is Completion Probability calculated?
It combines schedule variance, overdue task ratio, milestone slip rate and open RAID exposure into a 0–100% forward-looking score, updated on every change.
Can I export the dashboard for a board pack?
Yes — one-click Snapshot report exports as a shareable link, PDF or slide-ready image. Branded to your organisation.
