Hi,
I'm currently working within project management within technology, and I need an effiecient and good way of visualizing the project portfoilo. The plot or diagram should show where a current technology lies in the development and when it is possible to implement it.
Currently every project or product has its own row in excel, and most of the data (columns) contain words or years. There's generally no computation on numbers involved.
I'm thinking of using a plot like this, but I want boxes with the name of every project to move around in the diagram when it is updated in the excel sheet.

Do you guys have any advices or a solution?
Perhaps I'm using the wrong tools for this task ... However, my department consist of people that are not too prone to changes - they like excel. Maybe a database with a nice interface on top would be better.

Thank you! :D
