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!
