BrightWork has published a new research report, Project Delivery Benchmarks Report - KPI Visibility & Portfolio Reporting Stats, offering insight into how weak KPI visibility and inconsistent portfolio reporting can lead to portfolio drift and reduced project delivery performance. The report highlights the importance of clear and consistent reporting as organizations manage growing volumes of projects across departments and teams.

Why it matters

The findings support BrightWork's broader approach to project and portfolio management on Microsoft 365, helping organizations standardize project processes, improve collaboration and gain visibility across portfolios, programs and projects through dashboards, configurable reporting and Power BI integration. The report will be particularly relevant for organizations looking to improve KPI visibility, strengthen portfolio and program reporting, and reduce the risk of portfolio drift.

The details

The report examines the role that reporting visibility plays in helping organizations maintain control over projects, programs, and portfolios. It highlights how limited access to timely, relevant performance information can make it more difficult for senior leaders and PMO teams to identify risks early, track progress confidently and keep work aligned with strategic priorities. As organizations manage growing volumes of projects across departments and teams, the need for clear and consistent reporting has become increasingly important. When project data is fragmented or difficult to interpret, decision-makers often lack the visibility needed to respond quickly, allocate resources effectively and maintain oversight across the wider portfolio.
