Partner LeadershipManagement Dashboard

(LMD)

Bill Bristow, CSREES

So What Is A Dashboard?

In Information Technology, a dashboard is a user interface that, somewhat resembling an automobile's dashboard, organizes and presents information in a way that is easy to read.

A computer dashboard is more likely to be interactive than an automobile dashboard (unless you have a real expensive car).

The LMD 3.2 Two types exist for two different audiences:

o NPL - National Program Leaders at CSREES (internal facing)

o Partner – CSREES partners (external facing)

The data in LMD currently draws from 3 sources:o Current Resource Information System (CRIS)o AREERA State Plan of Work (POW) Information System o Cooperative Research, Education, and Extension

Management System (C-REEMS)

October 2009 - National Information Management and Support System (NIMSS)

The History

NPL LMD pilot/prototype started November, 2006 utilizing 3 NPLs providing requirements.

NPL LMD launched at CSREES in July 2007. Subsequent releases made in January and

June, 2008, and March, 2009 – each release adding more functionality and requirements.

Partner LMD released to a limited audience in August 2008 and January 2009. Partner LMD released to all – March 2009.

Where We Are Going?

We have plans to continue to add requirements and enhancements to the Dashboard approximately every 6-9 months.

A recently purchased reporting tool will add increased functionality and usability to current existing reports.

Next release of LMD will associate textual program outcomes with quantitative measures.
