Supporting technical capability

Track your business metrics in one Power BI dashboard.

A one-week fixed-fee Power BI engagement that turns manual spreadsheets and inconsistent numbers into a single KPI dashboard with defined metrics and a repeatable refresh.

Illustrative sample · supporting capability

What action follows a missed business threshold?

CONSTRUCTED EXAMPLETechnical record
Constructed KPI · requests waiting for approval
  1. SOURCERequest history · submitted and approval events
  2. DEFINITIONWaiting time needs agreed start, stop and excluded statuses
  3. DECISIONThreshold not agreed: do not label a request overdue yet.

REFRESH CONDITIONDefine event timestamps and refresh frequency with the process owner before enabling threshold actions.

Observation
The measure counts open requests but has no agreed waiting-time definition or excluded statuses.
Decision
Agree the measure before adding a threshold.
Next action
Define start/stop events with the process owner, label sample data and name the action for a breached threshold.

This capability can inform the next service. Its inclusion, price and calendar must be agreed in that service’s scope; following the link does not make it included.

Technical context

When this work applies

  • Managers run the business from spreadsheets and manual reports.
  • Different reports show different numbers.
  • Nobody has written down what each KPI means, so the definition changes with whoever builds the report.

Possible outputs

Outputs to agree in scope

KPI Dashboard Pack

How engagements are scoped
Capability scope to confirm
  • One Power BI dashboard
  • 1 to 2 datasets
  • Agreed KPI definitions
  • Refresh process
Scope assumptions
  • Source data is available as Excel, CSV, or a supported connector
  • One report theme in the base package
Exclusions
  • More than 1 to 2 datasets in the base package
  • A data warehouse or custom connector build
Required access
  • The source exports (Excel, CSV, CRM, or accounting)
