IT Project Management Dashboard - tracking project health, profitability

Since these IT Application Development Project Dashboard screenshots from http://www.itcsoftware.com/art-globalsoftwaremgtIntro.htm are so big and full of great dashboard content, I'll have to span them across several posts. We start with an enterprise dashboard screenshot that looks to be a view suitable for showing a client. They would be able to see at-a-glance the project health of multiple development efforts along with milestone tracking and high-level counts of requirements and defects. The second executive dashboard screenshot below shows an internal view for the IT service provider. Obviously, you would not want to show the client the analysis of project profitability,  resource utilization and internal productivity. By the way, this view offers a rare peek into the world of IT consulting management. For those of us inside the world IT consulting management, it's all about what resources are allocated, who is on the bench, what the run rates are, what margins we are pulling out of the account, etc. This is especially true when IT consulting has become so competitive with offshore resources. Nice screenshots. Well worth studying.

This is the client view:

Here is the internal IT consulting company management view. Note the colored arrows showing profitability:

He could not find any executive dashboard design source books (or even screenshots of real business dashboards) and so set about creating his own. Finally convinced to post his extensive collection of dashboard screenshots online, he was amazed to find how popular it has become.
