An effective dashboard is one that reflects your needs. It's essential to make them punchy, relevant and readable by all your stakeholders. From the selection of relevant KPIs to visual storytelling and mobile accessibility, this tip will guide you towards dashboards that speak and act.

  1. Visual clarity: Use a clean layout and organize your data logically. Avoid overloaded graphics and favor simple, understandable visual elements.
     
  2. Relevant KPIs: Choose the key performance indicators (KPIs) that correspond to your company's objectives. Don't overload your dashboard with too much data.
     
  3. Regular updating: Make sure your data is regularly updated to reflect the current state of your business. Accuracy is crucial to informed decision-making.
     
  4. Interactivity: Enable users to explore data by adding interactive features. Filters and drill-down options can help reveal more detailed information.
     
  5. Appropriate visualizations: Choose the chart types best suited to your data. Bar charts, pie charts and line charts have specific uses.
     
  6. Data storytelling: Use titles, captions and annotations to guide readers through your dashboard and highlight key insights.
