Screenshots

The screenshots folder contains selected and sanitized screenshots illustrating key aspects of the system, including:

• Project Center and portfolio-level views
• Project-level dashboards and timelines
• Custom PWA views and governance controls
• Resource and cost-related configurations

Screenshots are intentionally limited to highlight system structure and design, rather than expose operational or sensitive data.

Reporting and Analysis

Detailed explanations of the reporting structure and progress analysis are provided in the following documents:

• reports-and-insights/reports-overview.md
• reports-and-insights/kpi-and-progress-analysis.md

These documents focus on how insights were derived and applied to support decision-making, rather than on raw data or metrics.

---

Lessons Learned

Practical insights gained from operating the system in a real enterprise environment are documented in the following files:

• reports-and-insights/lessons-learned.md
• lessons-learned.md

These reflections focus on governance, user adoption, and analytical considerations, rather than tool-specific limitations.

---

Troubleshooting Approach

A high-level overview of the troubleshooting methodology and problem-solving mindset applied throughout the project is available in:

• architecture-and-design/troubleshooting-notes.md

Detailed, step-by-step fixes and internal references are intentionally excluded from this public repository.
