dashboard

A visual display of charts and graphs that tracks project progress and performance against key metrics.

Key Points

  • Summarizes key performance indicators (KPIs) in a single, visual view.
  • Highlights trends, variances, and status at a glance for quick decisions.
  • Can update frequently or in real time from underlying data sources.
  • Should be tailored to the needs of specific audiences (team, sponsor, executives).

Example

A Scrum team uses a dashboard showing sprint burndown, velocity trend, defect count, and cycle time. The project manager and product owner review it daily to spot scope creep, adjust WIP, and communicate status to stakeholders.
