If you need to create the SharePoint application instance  after installing PPS Monitoring, you might need to be sure the following is place in the web.config file for your new SharePoint site:

You should have the following entry in the section of the config file:

 <SafeControl Assembly="Microsoft.PerformancePoint.Scorecards.WebParts, Version=3.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31bf3856ad364e35" Namespace="Microsoft.PerformancePoint.Scorecards.WebParts" TypeName="*" Safe="True" />
 
Once you have added it run IISReset from a command prompt and try your dashboard again.

While working at a client site in Minnesota recently, I had to completely reinstall the Monitoring component as there were some issues with the MOSS deployment. With several days work invested on a dashboard, including multiple scorceards, kpi rollups and some basic reports, I wasn't sure of the outcome... whether or to what extent I might need to rebuild. However, all relevant dashboard information is basically stored in the .bswx file, and the file worked like a charm after completely reinstalling the monitoring software. The only thing that may be necessary is to change your data source connections should these be impacted.

The foundation for PerformancePoint is categorized by the acronym MAP.  Monitor, Analyze and Plan are a basic iterative approach to business performance management and MS has used this approach in developing and delivering PPS. 

As of RTM, there really seem to be two distinct components, with Planning standing alone and Monitoring and Analytics being merged into the Monitoring server component. 

While both are based on SQL Server 2005 and Analysis Services, the structure and delivery of Planning and Monitoring are decidedly different for the initial release.  Planning is delivered via an Excel Addin, with a web interface for application and user administration and a thin client for modeling and process management. 

Monitoring/Analytics is tightly integrated with Sharepoint, requiring either Windows Sharepoint Services 3.0 (WSS) or Microsoft Office Sharepoint Server 2007 (MOSS).
