Microsoft recently announced the new Power BI Content Pack for Microsoft PPM.

This content pack allows organizations to deploy out-of-the-box reporting in a new Project Web App instance; so not requiring any customizations what-so-ever.

In this webinar, Kenneth Steiness of Sensei Project Solutions will provide a guided tour of this new content pack and will help  you explore the reports available for Portfolio, Resource and Project reporting.

Kenneth will also demonstrate how this Content Pack exploits the full power of Power BI with cross-filtering and drill-up/down which allows you to also use these reports as powerful analysis tools as you can dynamically adjust the report content to focus on exception based management for your portfolio, resource pool or projects.

Presenter: Kenneth Steiness, (LinkedIn profile) PMP/PMI-SP MCP MCT is the author of Proactive PPM with Microsoft Project 2013 for Project Server and Project Online has worked in the project management and scheduling field for over 19 years, and in over 13 countries worldwide.

In over 10 years of developing tools and providing services to clients with Master Schedules, Dan Friedrich has become  a Master Schedule “Whisperer,” helping organizations with some of the largest Master Schedules ever created (8 levels of Masters nesting).

Dan helps  others to clean up any issues with their Master Schedules, visualize them, consolidate and refactor them, and adopt practices to keep them running clean.

In this session Dan will provide guidance that should prove useful whether or not you have the ideal tools, including topics such as:

• When and why should you use Master Schedules in the first place?
• How to avoid doing things “behind Project’s back” that Project would block as a schedule conflict if it “saw” it?
• How to create a circular reference in five minutes or less (yes, we will), and find and fix it?
• When should you be using 64-bit Project EXCLUSIVELY
  • But almost nobody does?
• The importance of respecting project interdependencies within the top-level Master Schedule boundaries — and what happens when you don’t?
• How to think about Master Schedule modular structure options, and when you should refactor them?
• How can you maintain clean links?
  • The Inuit have 20 words for “snow” – Dan has 20 words for “bad external link”
• What’s the difference between working with a Master stand-alone vs. on Project Server or Project Online?
