The Curriculum Development Services Dashboard in Power BI is a ready-to-open .pbix report built for design studios and instructional-design teams that bill curriculum work by the project. The sample model carries 500 curriculum projects across 12 months of 2025, worth $2.91M in project fees against $1.85M of delivery cost, leaving a 36.2% gross margin – and it shows you the studio, the service line and the client type responsible for every dollar of that spread. Nine report pages, 32 named DAX measures referenced by the visuals, five synced slicers on every analysis page, and an eight-field drillthrough. Open it in the free Power BI Desktop, point the query at your own project register, and the whole report re-renders. One payment, no subscription, unlimited internal use.

Key Features of the Curriculum Development Services Dashboard in Power BI
- Five analysis pages, one filter context. Overview, Delivery Pipeline, Curriculum Output, Fee & Margin and Clients & Channels each carry five slicers – Date Range, Region, Client Type, Service Type plus one page-specific slicer – and they stay in sync as you move between pages.
- A right-hand KPI rail on every page. Each card shows the value, the month-on-month delta and a twelve-point spark strip: Total Project Fee $2.91M (+5.6% MoM), Projects 500 (+4.0%), Module Completion 81.0% (+2.0%), Gross Margin 36.2% (+0.3%), Avg. Client Rating 4.1 (+1.8%).
- Planned against delivered, module by module. Curriculum Output compares 2,594 modules planned with 2,102 delivered and prices the gap in design time – 17,454 development hours at 8.3 hours per module.
- A service-line P&L, not just a revenue chart. The Fee & Margin scorecard lists projects, fee, delivery cost, gross margin and margin % for all six service types, so Curriculum Audit’s 32.9% margin sits next to Curriculum Design’s 37.2%.
- Studio and designer accountability. Delivery Pipeline ranks six design studios by delivery rate and cancellations and six lead designers by project load, from R. Chatterjee’s 121 projects down to S. Yamamoto’s 63.
- Channel economics. Clients & Channels separates the five acquisition routes and shows that Publisher Partner work carries the highest average project fee ($6,393) while Education Partner brings the most projects (122).
- A hidden Details drillthrough on eight fields – Design Studio, Region, Lead Designer, Client Type, Service Type, Delivery Format, Client Source and Project Status – plus two hover tooltip pages (Category Detail and Trend Detail).
- Your data, your branding. The model loads from a single 17-column table; colours, the logo and every label are editable in Power BI Desktop.
What’s Inside the Curriculum Development Services Dashboard in Power BI
The download is one ZIP containing the .pbix report, the Data.xlsx sample source, and a Power BI Dashboard User Manual (PDF).
Page 1 – Overview. “Project Fee and Gross Margin by Month” plots monthly fee bars against a margin line that climbs from 33.1% in January to 38.3% in November. Below it, “Project Fee by Client Type” (Corporate Academy $658K, University $639K, Community College $567K, K-12 School $549K, Vocational Institute $496K), “Project Fee by Service Type” and “Projects by Region” (North 199, West 146, South 90, East 65).
Page 2 – Delivery Pipeline. Where every project sits in the lifecycle: 250 delivered, 114 in development, 74 in review, 62 cancelled. “Projects and Delivery Rate by Month” tracks the rate from 35.1% to 62.0%, and the Design Studio Scorecard puts Bayview’s 59.6% delivery rate against Eastfield’s 46.2%.
Page 3 – Curriculum Output. “Modules Delivered and Module Completion by Month”, “Modules Delivered by Delivery Format” (Digital 833, Blended 778, Print 491) and a clustered “Modules Planned and Delivered by Service Type” that exposes the 120-module shortfall on Course Content Writing.
Page 4 – Fee & Margin. A monthly gross-margin area chart rising from $59K to $124K, “Project Fee by Region” and the six-row Service Line Scorecard.
Page 5 – Clients & Channels. “Projects by Client Source”, “Projects and Client Rating by Client Type”, a “Design Hours against Client Rating by Studio” scatter and the Client Source Scorecard.
Page 6 – Get More Dashboards, an in-report index of the wider NextGenTemplates Power BI catalogue. Behind them sit the Details drillthrough and the two tooltip pages.

Who This Template Is For – and Who It’s Not For
A good fit for: curriculum design studios and instructional-design agencies billing project fees; publisher and EdTech content teams that outsource writing, video and assessment work; university and community-college centres for teaching and learning that run internal curriculum builds; accreditation consultants who need audit and alignment work costed separately.
Not a good fit if: you need a learner-facing LMS – this reports on the production of curriculum, not on student progress; you want live sync to Asana or Jira (this is an import model you refresh, not a connector); you bill hourly with no project envelope, since the fee, cost and margin measures assume a project fee per engagement; or you have no Windows machine, because Power BI Desktop is Windows-only.
How to Use the Curriculum Development Services Dashboard in Power BI
- Unzip the download and open the .pbix in Power BI Desktop (free from Microsoft).
- Explore the shipped sample first. Click a slicer, watch all five pages follow, and right-click any studio bar to drill through to Details.
- Open Data.xlsx and replace the 500 sample rows with your own, keeping all 17 column headers: Project ID, Start Date, Design Studio, Region, Lead Designer, Client Type, Service Type, Delivery Format, Client Source, Project Status, Modules Planned, Modules Delivered, Development Hours, Project Fee, Designer Cost, Operating Cost, Client Rating.
- In Power BI Desktop use Transform data > Data source settings to point the query at your file, then Refresh.
- Rename the report title, swap the logo image and edit the theme colours to your studio’s palette.
- Publish to the Power BI Service if you want a shareable link and the mobile app.
Real-World Use Cases
Ravi runs a six-studio curriculum design network. His Monday review starts on Delivery Pipeline: Northline carries 126 projects but delivers only 50.0% of them and has cancelled 13, while Bayview clears 59.6% on 57. He rebalances the next intake rather than hiring.
Dana is finance lead at an assessment publisher. The Service Line Scorecard tells her Curriculum Audit returns 32.9% against Curriculum Design’s 37.2% on a quarter of the volume. She reprices audits instead of trimming the whole rate card.
Marisol heads a community-college teaching centre. Curriculum Output shows 2,594 modules planned against 2,102 delivered, with Course Content Writing 120 modules short. She moves two writers off video design for a term.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need a paid Power BI licence?
No. Power BI Desktop is free and opens, edits and refreshes this report. A Pro licence is only needed if you want to publish it to the Power BI Service and share a link with colleagues.
Can I use my own data instead of the sample?
Yes. Keep the 17 column headers in Data.xlsx, paste your rows in, repoint the data source and refresh. Every visual, card and scorecard recalculates – there is nothing hard-coded in the layout.
Is there an Excel version of this dashboard?
Yes – the Curriculum Development Services Dashboard in Excel covers the same subject with pivot tables and slicers, and there is a lighter Curriculum Development Services KPI Dashboard if you want a month-picker scorecard instead of an analytical report.
How many DAX measures does it ship with?
32 named measures are referenced by the report visuals – 16 business metrics such as Total Project Fee, Gross Margin %, Delivery Rate % and Module Completion %, each paired with an SVG card measure that draws the KPI tile and its spark strip.
Does it track individual learners or courses?
No. The grain is one row per curriculum project. Modules are counted (planned and delivered) but not named, and there is no learner table.
Can I remove the “Get More Dashboards” page?
Yes. Right-click the page tab in Power BI Desktop and delete it, or hide it before publishing. Nothing else in the report depends on it.
Will the sample dates confuse my reporting?
The shipped model runs January to December 2025 and the header reads “Data through Dec 2025 | MoM vs Nov 2025”. Once you load your own dates the Date table and every MoM delta follow your calendar automatically.
