Below is a screenshot of a dashboard showing the programs and projects across the whole organization. The dashboard gives you a quick overview of the status for each program and project:

In the example above both of the tables are sorted by the RAG (Red/Amber/Green) status of the programs and projects. You can easily change the sort order by clicking on the heading of a column.

You can click on the red bars showing the number of open actions, risks, issues or change requests. This will take you to a detailed list of those open items.

Each of the tables can be exported to either Excel or to a Comma Separated Values (CSV) file.
