Why not impress your management by making DPM reports look more corporate by re-branding them.
 
Rather than your reports looking like this:
 
Original Report Branding
 
Have them looking something like this:
 
Customised Report Branding
 
This is very easy to do as DPM reporting uses SQL Reporting Services.  First open a web browser and navigate to "http://<DPM SQL Server>/Reports<Instance>", so if you performed your DPM install with SQL it would be http://localhost/Reports$MS$DPM2007$.  This will open the SQL Reporting Services web page, from here click the DPMReports folder.  Now click the Show Details button and you should have a window that looks something like this.
 
DPMReports
 
Click the Edit button next to DPMReportsLogo.jpg, change the name to DPMReportsLogoOriginal.jpg and click Apply.  Navigate back to the DPMReports folder and click Upload File.  Browse to and select the image that you want to use on your reports, then change the name to DPMReportsLogo.jpg and click OK.
 
With that done, all your DPM reports will now use the new branding.
 
Enjoy.
