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 :

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 :
       Support work item queries across project areas (94575)
       Combine 2 or more queries from different project areas in different repositories into one viewlet (100689)

you can add your comments as well if you see its different

once you have a report with the required data set, you can run it through a dashboard widget.  One widget would then cover multiple projects...
and like mentioned by Krzysztof above, BIRT is a good solution you can explore.
Some useful link to get started is:

Once you have the report created, you can use a single widget to display the report.

 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.

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?
