Don’t Forget About Information Design
“We are overwhelmed by information, not because there is too much, but because we don't know how to tame it.”
- Stephen Few
Don’t be a winner of the Dashboard Hall of Shame
A Few Dashboard Design Tips
Keep it simple Focus on 2-3 different answers per dashboard Target the user, avoid mixing user classes (ie. VP Sales with VP Marketing) Define drill paths
Tune the interface Desktop and mobile devices – Tablets & Phones? Avoid scroll bars, 3-D charts, pie and dial gauges KPI flags – makes it easier to spot outliers Leverage interactivity – tooltips, input controls, drill down
