IT Project Tracking Digital Dashboard
Digital Dashboards
Digital Dashboard Example: Software project management has its own little world of relevant KPIs that focus on resource issues (availabilty of business analysts, programmers, testers, dbas, etc), quality metrics (QA defects, sla), dependencies, etc. It’s an area that is perfect for monitoring and optimizing through the visual approach of digital dashboards.
We’ve all spent years pumping out project after project. Most of the time, the focus is entirely on the project artifacts (for most of the team members). It’s not often that engagement-level metrics are surfaced. This set of software project management digital dashboard screenshots caught my eye because the KPIs include items from the perspective of “Is the project a profitable one?”. This would be, of course, a concern of the consulting company providing the application development service to their client. But also, wouldn’t it apply in the more commonly found internal company cost center / investment situation?
Here is a screenshot of the enterprise dashboard that tracks the metrics for an ecommerce development project. After that is a screenshot that has KPIs such as cost variance, profitability, resource utilization.
