What is a project management dashboard?
A project management dashboard is a single screen that answers the questions you would otherwise ask in a status meeting: what is on track, what is late, who is overloaded, and what has been spent. Orangescrum gives every person a dashboard built from a set of widgets they can show, hide, and reorder, with the layout starting from a sensible default for their role and saved for next time.
Why status takes so long to find
The answer on one screen
01Your layout
A starting point per role
Admins and members open different default arrangements, so nobody starts from an empty screen.
Drag widgets into order
Pick a widget up by its handle and drop it where you want it.
Show or hide any widget
Turn individual widgets on and off, with select all, select none, and reset to default.
It remembers you
Order and visibility are saved per person per workspace, so your screen is still yours next time.
A responsive grid
Widgets take a fixed share of a twelve column grid and reflow on smaller screens.
Filter inside a widget
Individual widgets carry their own searchable filters for project, programme, milestone, manager, status, role, person, and date range.
Refresh on demand
Reload every widget at once without reloading the page. Available in Cloud.
It updates live
Task and time log changes push to the dashboard as they happen. Available in Cloud.
02Portfolio
Four headline numbers
Projects, tasks, resources, and time spent, each showing completed against total and the month on month trend.
Project summary
A table of projects with owner, dates, status, and progress, filtered by programme, project, manager, or status.
Overall project progress
A donut splitting projects into completed, on track, delayed, and at risk.
Programme summary
The same table and donut one level up, for programmes rather than projects.
Milestone summary
A milestone table and progress donut, filtered by project, milestone, or status.
Top five projects
The five projects worth looking at first, without opening anything.
Active against completed
How much of the portfolio is still running and how much has landed.
Clients
A client chart for teams whose portfolio is organised by who it is for.
03Money
Budget and cost report
A per project table of budget against actual cost, filtered to the project you care about.
Budget against cost
The same comparison as a chart, for the version of the question a director asks.
Project cost report
A full width breakdown of what a project has cost, built from logged hours and your rates.
Resource cost report
The same figure per person, so you can see where the cost actually sits.
04Capacity
Resource utilisation
How much of the team's available time is being used, on the same screen as delivery.
Workload summary
What the team is carrying across a date range and a project.
Storage
Total storage used and a breakdown by project, so a limit is never a surprise.
05Mine
My tasks
Everything assigned to you, across every project, without checking each board.
My overdue
Late work surfaces on its own instead of waiting to be found.
Overdue and upcoming
A tabbed list of what is already late and what is about to be.
My progress
A gauge of how much of your own work is done.
My hours
The time you have logged, next to the work it was logged against.
Time log chart
Hours by period, switchable between this week, last week, this month, and last month.
Task status and task types
Two donuts breaking your work down by status and by type.
Activity feed
What changed recently on the work you are involved in.
Bookmarks
Your saved links on the dashboard, managed and reordered from their own page.
06Per project
Its own overview
Every project has a status pie, time worked, its people, files, task types, to dos, groups, and recent activity.
Cost on the overview
The RAG cost report and resource cost report sit on the project overview itself.
Project notes
A place on the overview for the notes about the project that are not tasks.
07Deeper
Embedded BI dashboards
Apache Superset dashboards are embedded in the product, scoped to the project you are in, with single sign-on handled for you.
Build a chart from your data
A query driven chart builder for questions the standard widgets do not answer. Available in Self-Hosted.
The full report set
Task analysis, time and resource, agile, and other reports sit behind the dashboard, each with CSV or PDF export.
Widgets follow permissions
What a widget shows is worked out from your role before the screen is drawn, so a person never sees a number they are not allowed.

Project dashboard FAQ
What does the dashboard show?
A widget set covering headline counts for projects, tasks, resources and time, project, programme and milestone summaries with progress donuts, budget and cost, resource utilisation and workload, storage, and your own tasks, overdue work, hours, and activity.
Does everyone get their own dashboard?
Yes. Every person has their own dashboard, and the layout they arrange is saved for them. That is available in every edition, including the free Community Edition.
Can I choose which widgets appear?
Yes. Open the customise panel, turn individual widgets on or off, or use select all, select none, and reset to go back to the default for your role. Then drag the ones you kept into the order you want.
Can I point a widget at one project?
Yes. Widgets carry their own filters for project, programme, milestone, manager, status, role, person, and date range, so two people can read the same widget about different work.
Does the data update automatically?
Widgets read from the actual tasks, time logs, and costs, so they reflect the current state rather than the last time somebody updated a report. In Cloud the dashboard also refreshes itself as tasks and time logs change, and has a refresh button.
Will people see numbers they should not?
No. What each widget may show is worked out from that person's role before the page is drawn, so cost and resource widgets simply do not appear for people without the permission.
Can I build my own charts?
The dashboard is a set of widgets you choose, arrange, and filter, rather than a chart authoring tool. For your own charts, Cloud Premium and Self-Hosted embed Apache Superset dashboards inside the product, and Self-Hosted also includes a query driven chart builder.
Is there a dashboard in the open source edition?
Yes. The Community Edition has the same personal dashboard with drag to reorder and show or hide, covering project, milestone, task, time, storage, and activity widgets. Cost, programme, workload, and BI widgets are not included.
Can I export what is on a dashboard?
The reports behind the dashboard export to CSV or PDF in Cloud and Self-Hosted, which is the route to take when somebody needs the numbers in a spreadsheet or a deck.
Answer the status question in one screen
The personal dashboard is in every edition, including the free Community Edition.
