Hi dear network, I´m working to build an operation dashboard as an deliverable of the project, i have included cost analysis with BAC, and ETC, also CPI, some others indicators such as ANS. I am looking for other good indicators that can give a great information of the project status. Saving Changes...
This should be based on the information needs of your key stakeholders who will be consuming this dashboard. Other than progress metrics, you might want to think of some which reflect value or benefits realized and customer/stakeholder/team satisfaction.

In-addition to what Kiron mentioned, you can also include metrics related to the 'Overall Project Risk' and "Resource Allocation' in the operation dashboard.. Saving Changes...

Risk metrics are the one that jumps out to me. A quick stoplight or similar top-level display to show what risks are active and at what level.
It is not completely clear who the dashboard is for -- the project team?? the sponsor?? external stakeholders?? That will change the content quite a lot. It is also not clear whether it is intended as a display of project status, or product status -- is it a deliverable only for the term of the project, or is it meant to last beyond the project as a display for the delivered service?? That could change things quite a lot as well. Saving Changes...

I fully agree with Kiron's statement and specifically the one related to the value realization. EVM tend to give you numbers without an sense of whether value is being delivered or not so you need to define some metric to reflect what value has been delivered. Saving Changes...
The dashboard as others have mentioned will depend on your audience. We typically mention risks, status (schedule and cost), and any relevant issues. This is all coloured coded, (red, green, yellow). They are sometimes referred to as "quad charts" meaning it is a one pager divided into 4 areas, each to address one of the aforementioned topics. Saving Changes...
