Do I really want a piece of paper? Or a dashboard with the same contents - perhaps set as my browser's home page. With the addition of a few large format screens showing the dashboards in the work area, I think that would suit our group better than a printed piece of paper.
I think the more important concept is to get everyone in the group focused on the core metrics and one thing I do like about the idea is that there can be more than a "few key metrics".
I'm imagining every one of our application servers counting the errors that show up in the logs - right next to the raw hits and response time. We're responsible for more than 80 products and it would also be informative to show the error rates of products versus each other. Which of the products needs maintenance work most?
We capture metrics for some of the newer applications in Ganglia, but the idea that you might fit 500 numbers and spark-lines on a single dashboard has given me so great ideas.

When's the last time you looked at your browser's home page? I don't even think mine has one. And changes to a dashboard-generating system can be a lot more expensive that changes made in a paper-printing system. As someone elsethread noted, he's seen millions spent on tools to replace cents spent on paper.

It is a sort of simplified Gantt chart and RACI. http://www.slideshare.net/mobile/GeoffatPerformancePeople/using-the-one-page-project-manager-975768 http://www.slideshare.net/mobile/GeoffatPerformancePeople/us... https://oppmi.com/ https://oppmi.com/
