Creating Good Dashboards
Hi everyone! I think Prof has already covered the main bulk of the importance of designing a good dashboard. Creating a purposeful dashboard is really crucial as it is the first thing that the audience see. Dashboards help to provide a bird’s eye view of the KPIs that the business has set. An interactive dashboard allows the report to be constantly updated and you can zoom in into details for greater analysis. However, I often make the mistake of cluttering up my dashboards with vanity metrics. In the end, my dashboard would look nice but they don’t lead to action. A good dashboard helps organizations get on the same page, speed decision-making and improve ROI. They help create organizational alignment because everyone is looking at the same thing. So dashboards are effective. They work. The questions are: how can they work for you?
Here are some really good dashboard designs!

Reflections on Information Dashboard Design
Here are my reflections for Week 10:
Dashboard is very important to understand how to make it. It is very important to take many things into account, such as audience, the industry, colour themes, etc. The purpose of a dashboard to give the users an overview of everything, finding any problems with the data, coming out with insights from the data, etc. without much effort.
One thing that struck me is when prof said that even if you create your dashboard, it may not be an effective one. You need to take a lot of things into account, so I believe that a lot of planning and experience to create an effective dashboard. So, you should never give up and continue trying to create dashboards.
One thing that I would like to reflect is the Design Process. I would be using this process in my final project, and would even conduct studies to see whether the dashboard that my group that created would reach some of ours goals on whether the data is meaningful, beautifully constructed, etc.
