[ Process Dashboard ]  
 
  What is it ?  
       The Process Dashboard is a powerful and flexible tool for software process automation, released under the terms of the GNU General Public License. By automating and simplifying metrics collection and analysis, the Process Dashboard makes it easier to use high-maturity processes such as the Personal Software Process(SM).

     The Process Dashboard also makes it easy to apply high-maturity behaviors to everyday tasks, even if those tasks do not use any defined process. Dashboard features such as the "Task and Schedule" tool can help anyone to plan and track their daily work more effectively.

 
 
  How does it work ?  
       The Process Dashboard contains an embedded process engine which provides unprecedented integration of metrics data with process scripts, forms, and other documents. This engine reads process definitions as simple XML, HTML, and text files, and provides a user interface which helps individuals to use the process.

     Because process definitions are not hard-coded into the Dashboard, anyone can create a new process definition to use with the dashboard. Ready-made process definitions can also be installed if desired.

     The Process Dashboard is written in the Java(TM) programming language, and can run on many platforms, such as Windows ®, Unix, Linux(TM), and Mac OS ® X.
