After sitting on the intranet a very interesting conversation pursued.  An OBS consultant was trying to help a client kick start a project site and was asking what good web parts are good to kick start a project web part page.  Quickly a group compiled list came together... (see below) I love how action oriented these lists/views are.  Obviously stats, reports, and KPIs are good things to add as well :)

 

Enjoy! (used with permission)
