Power BI with Project Online across devices

Download: Power BI Template for Project Online 

Coming back from Microsoft Ignite in Chicago this past week, I’m now even more excited about Power BI with Project Online. Natural language query is impressive, and the drill-through dashboards look great as always, but what really got me this week was the experience across devices. Allow me to demonstrate.

Here is our standard Power BI dashboard for Project Online shown in a browser (the new Microsoft Edge browser, no less).

Next up is the Power BI app for iPad. As you can tell the experience here is also excellent. It even resizes the charts to fit them nicely on the page.

At the Ignite conference, Microsoft announced the Power BI Preview App for Windows (shown here on my Surface Pro 3). It too does a great job of displaying the dashboards.

Finally, the iPhone aligns the charts in a single column for a nice experience on a smaller screen. The Apps for Windows and iPad/iPhone don’t yet have natural language query, but they all make it very easy to quickly access pre-built Power BI dashboards across mobile devices.

At a later date, we will explore the details of Power BI a bit more and how to put the dashboards together, but as you can see from the above, the existing dashboards work exceptionally well in the new cloud-first, mobile-first world. Please visit Microsoft’s Power BI blog for more information and links to download the above apps.
