This document discusses the rationale and approach for implementing IT dashboards. IT dashboards can provide an integrated view of various IT management tools like helpdesk, change management, and project management. This is needed because current solutions are fractured and costly, using different tools for each function. The document recommends building IT dashboards that are compliant with ITIL but not overly complex, using commonly available business intelligence platforms. Sample dashboards are available but not included in the document. Dashboards can help facilitate governance, provide transparency, and enable efficient triaging and resource management across tools.
