How can I create a dashboard across multiple Azure DevOps Projects?

For my work I've been assigned multiple Azure DevOps projects that I have been asked to create dashboards for. My boss is interested in a dashboard for each individual project (at that project level) and one master dashboard that consolidates all the information across projects. I've looked at the main Microsoft support link for this (https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/devops/project/work-across-projects-faqs?view=azure-devops), as well as numerous other resources, and I am still having several issues. I'm trying to work around the following constraints:

  1. We don't want to create another project and use the "Query Across Projects" feature, as we are trying to utilize the hierarchical structure of Azure DevOps projects.
  2. We'd like to avoid OData Queries / PowerBI, as I've run into numerous issues with them. Specifically, the data I get from the query is in a very ugly format (almost entirely hashed strings and other unclean data).

I'm open to any and all suggestions and would really appreciate pointers to other resources - I've had a hard time finding people who are looking to do similar tasks or who are having similar problems, so any help is much obliged.

How can I create a dashboard across multiple Azure DevOps Projects?

Starting from November 12 2020, MS announce a public preview for Delivery Plans 2.0, which provide a first-class roadmap and timeline solution natively in Azure Boards. The initial preview will include these features:

  • Bringing Delivery Plans into the core product, rather than requiring an extension to be installed.
  • Enabling work items to span iteration boundaries.
  • Enabling drag and drop borders to show when a work item starts and ends.
  • Enabling stakeholders to view plans.

Use Delivery Plans to ensure your teams are aligned with your organizational goals. You can view multiple backlogs and multiple teams across your whole account. You can interact with the plan with simple drag-and-drop operations to update or modify the schedule, opening cards, expanding and collapsing teams, and more.

enter image description here

You could check the document Review team Delivery Plans for some more details.

I did some work on it, I guess we have a dashboard very much coupled with project. Program level dashboard as in project management. But there is concept of Portfolio management, check if that helps: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/devops/boards/plans/portfolio-management?view=azure-devops
