Right now, I work with 4 programs, with a couple of projects spread across them such as consulting, product development, cybersecurity operations. But I need to report in a way that it can flow up the executive pipeline. So it is very rudimentary, only at the task or project level, with nothing at the program or enterprise level. There is NO program or portfolio project management tool in place. Tableau (most powerful tool TBH but for only used for 1 type of projects with the use of only 1 tool).Confluence (things like manually updated status boards with some customization and tweaking, or pulling in from Jira live, but otherwise very bare bones and zero connections or automation to anything else).Powerpoint/Excel (scattered spreadsheets everywhere, with ad-hoc visuals made manually to present in Powerpoint).We have these tools to try to present or work with the data but almost none of it is being fully utilizied: another custom built tool with data and entries in it from projects (can have an API to connect to or static flat file exports).Jira and Confluence (also has an API to connect to or static flat file exports).Gitlab (also has an API to connect to or static flat file exports).and this has an API or something where the data can be connected to or exported either with a live or two-way syncable connection or by a one-way static flat file export custom task management tool which has data fields like title, description, assignee name, due date, etc.Microsoft (Outlook, Word/Excel/Powerpoint, OneDrive/Sharepoint, OneNote) (aside from OneDrive/SharePoint hosting files, everything else needs manual review or manual movement from place to the next).Slack (everything from this will have to be manually reviewed, no integrations).I am working with these platforms and data sources: I have to learn a lot of complex things very quickly, with little time. My issues however is that I am more of a people person, more legal/compliance/consulting minded, less cybersecurity and programming and product development all of which is the bulk of the team's work.

Not at the stage of being able to forecast or predict anything yet, but enough to generate and present patterns identified in important data. So part of it is generating the historical data, then playing around with it to analyze it and visualize it. I have to work with this data to communicate statuses of projects, but also manage the projects at the same time as well. Data from meetings, slack, email, spreadsheets, and then all those other nerdy places with APIs and connectors. At the heart of my work is data, which is all my livelihood really.
