Building a digital dashboard – Part 1: business side
In the last couple of years, I have been asked numerous times for a “dashboard”. In reality I was asked a chart showing “what is my project (‘s KPI) doing”. I usually performed a few data pukes and provided one PowerPoint slide, once the KPI is clearly defined, and the source data is in a “reasonable-messy” format. I was not impressed by the business reality of over-used term “dashboard”.
“What is a dashboard”
In my opinion, a true “dashboard” should serve beyond “what”, but also “why”.
