Through a native integration with Microsoft Power BI, Nialli Visual Planner offers a variety of comprehensive and flexible reports in Microsoft Power BI. These provide project teams with various insights into the health of a project simply as a by-product of day-to-day work and coordination. Included are extensive filtering and customization possibilities using Power BI tools.
Each of these reports can be customized to suit the needs of each organization, or new reports can be created using project data. Creating new reports will require some level of skill with Power BI.
