Series - Creating an agile dashboard with Power BI

During the Agile Tour Québec, my colleague Simon-Pierre Morin challenged me to write a blog related to our presentation on the agile project tracking dashboard. What a trap! I realize that one blog won't be enough! So Simon-Pierre and I are preparing a series of blogs based on the main points of our conference.

Why an agile dashboard presentation?

Because the subject sparked an interesting discussion between Simon-Pierre and me. For my part, I've just joined the Kurios IT team, following a term in which I held the role of interim product manager for over a year. During this period, I was responsible for reporting on development projects and contributed to the revision of project management processes within my organization. For his part, Simon Pierre is currently supporting a program manager, responsible for monitoring the progress of software development in a manufacturing group.

By taking an interest in Simon-Pierre's work, I discovered some interesting solutions to the difficulty I frequently encounter in building an accountability tool with data from agile planning tools such as Jira or Azure DevOps.

Our blog series will therefore explore the needs and challenges faced by a manager wishing to track the progress of his agile projects, and will also look at Simon-Pierre's practical solutions using Power BI.
