Somewhat decent home page which has cycle time, velocity and tickets completed.

Really decent worklog on who is working on what and where are they spending their time Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Gives a birds eye view of how the team is doing and where can there be potential improvements. The one stop dashboard is really helpful in identifying bottlenecks Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
