Federal IT Dashboard Visualization

UsaSpending.gov has rolled out a new visualization tool aimed to show Federal spending in the IT sector.  Separating it into the various federal branches (DOD, DOJ, DHS, etc), they then let you look at the various expenditures.  The expenditures (or investments) are separated into “Normal”, “Needs Attention”, and “Significant concerns” (the green, yellow, and red areas) by Cost, Schedule, and CIO Evaluation.

See their demonstration video after the break.
