Global Development Dashboard^™

SourceForge^® provides managers and executives with real-time visibility into the status of projects and distributed development activity with its unique Global Development Dashboard^™. The Global Development Dashboard provides real-time, color-coded project status indicators and statistics together with full drill-down capability for expanded visibility and insight into the status of projects, resources, tasks, issues and more.

Key Features & Benefits

• Provides managers with centralized, real-time status rollups and color-coded indicators of projects and related issues regardless of location
• Comprehensive, interactive drill-down capability enables users to get the details they want
• Improves management visibility and control
• Project information is automatically rolled-up into the dashboard and other reporting features so no extra effort is required to create this visibility
  • Frees teams to spend less time tracking down and reporting on status and more time doing productive work
• Automatically rolls up information across heterogeneous tools, avoiding the disruption and expense of trying to standardize on a single vendor's tool suite across the enterprise to realize dashboard benefits
• Open API based on SOAP XML web services enables underlying data to be loaded into other management applications such as project portfolio management tools or in-house developed dashboards
