The "Dash-Board" of Metrics Gives a "Heads-Up" of Project Status.

The Project Control Panel© is both a concept and a tool for visualizing and monitoring the condition of a project and predicting its future course. The panel facilitates the entire project team's quick determination of the status of their project, and identification of areas for improvement. The control panel was designed to help project managers keep their projects on course when data for the control panel are updated regularly. When gauges are not in acceptable ranges, however, they indicate to management that potential trouble lies ahead. The control panel displays information on progress, which includes productivity and completion, change,staff, risk and quality. These criteria were chosen to cover the primary areas that every project manager needs to track in order to avoid failure on large-scale software development projects.
