when you speak about same workflow and same work item type across these projects, if you intend to have only ONE viewlet showing ALL these work items, i guess you are actually looking for a query which could fetch work items from multiple project areas. Once you have such a query, you can just add any work item statistics viewlet and set it up with that query...
If this is the case, you have hit an enhancement request : Support work item queries across project areas (94575) Looking at it from the other side, if you wanted to use multiple queries for the same dashboard viewlet, I am afraid you have again hit a enhancement : Combine 2 or more queries from different project areas in different repositories into one viewlet (100689) But reports could be a good alternative and are discussed in : https://jazz.net/forum/questions/30147/cross-project-query hope this helps.

Yes the need is somewhat same. For instance : I have project A & B and defects logged in both these project areas. Now my manager wants to see the overall view of his engagement which has these 2 projects. He wants to know the Total list of defects, break up as per priority, modules etc. Can i have 1 widget consolidating these 2 projects? ok, then you could follow either or both the discussions :

You can configure the widgets in the same dashboard to fetch the data from different project areas.
So in a single dashboard tab there could be 2 work item statistics widgets fetching data from 2 different project areas.
Comments This Help topic shows how configure a dashboard with widgets from 2 or more project areas: http://pic.dhe.ibm.com/infocenter/clmhelp/v4r0m4/index.jsp?re=1&topic=/com.ibm.jazz.dashboard.doc/topics/t_add_viewlet_xrepos.html&scope=null |
hi Prandya,
If you want to see the data from 2 project areas in one dashboard, you need to create a report using BIRT or RRDI/Insight. These frameworks allows combining the data from different project areas. Anyway what kind of data exactly you want display? |
