Designing Dashboards that Deliver
We surveyed over 450 dashboard creators when writing Dashboards That Deliver and asked a big picture question: do you agree with the statement ‘most dashboards fail’? More than 70% of the respondents agreed, and that’s among people with a vested interest in seeing dashboards succeed.
The secret to designing a dashboard that has an impact?
Start with understanding your users deeply, then design with them as partners.
During this talk, you’ll learn the Dashboards That Deliver design framework, which blends user-centered design, Agile, and data viz practices and the authors’ experiences designing thousands of dashboards across industries.
Then we’ll dive into a few practical examples to see how the framework applies in practice and what lessons you can apply to the next dashboard you design, whether you’re a team of one or an enterprise analytics team.
