How to show progress bars for selected plans on a dashboard ?
Hi, I'm wondering how to show the progress bars of selected plans on a dashboard. The existing plan view widget does not work for me because it does not allow to select only those plans I'm really interested in. The available selection criteria for the widget (e.g. Scope, Timeline, ..) are not sufficient for my scenario. I always get more plans than I need.
The progress bars I'm interested in are available when I open an existing release plan (grouped by teams). All I'd like to do is to get the team progress bars displayed on a dashboard w/o having to open the release plan.
Thanks

The plan view widget does show the calculated progress bars. So using it would be perfect. Unfortunaltely I cannot limit the plans shown in that widget to what I actually need (this is why its no option for me).

I understand.. my comment was that there is no other way to get the progress bar than to use the plan widget. the value is not calculated and stored for access at other times.
so you would have to use a widget for each plan you want to display. not ONE for all
Sam, this is what I actually tried in the first place. But I was not able (using the available selection criteria in the plan view widget) to display only the one plan I want. I always get more than one plan displayed in the widget (criteria do obviously match for multiple plans). Its not possible to select a plan by specifying the plan title.
