Getting the Big Picture: Using Dashboards to track your data

NTC 2008, New Orleans 2 agenda Top Three Takeaways for Session: 1. Learn what a dashboard is 2. Understand what kind of data to track on a dashboard 3. Review best practices and how to develop a dashboard Session Outline: Intros of speakers (5 minutes) Orientation to Dashboards (25 minutes) Hands-on Exercise – Break into 2 or 3 small groups.

NTC 2008, New Orleans 7 let’s look at some examples… Unfortunately, I was not able to get permission to distribute the dashboard samples I showed in the session. However, you can find plenty of examples within the Resources listed on the last slide.

NTC 2008, New Orleans 8 best practices Don’t make the user scroll to see the whole picture If it’s too big to fit, maybe you need change the level of detail and create sub-Dashboards. Design to a single screen/page Don’t include measures without something to compare against e.g. goal, time, another measure Ensure adequate context Don’t make it so detailed you can’t see the big picture Don’t clutter with unnecessary information Limit to key indicators relevant for that level of dashboard, e.g. the organization’s overall health and performance at the top level. Use an appropriate level of detail Don’t distract the user with extraneous design elements Don’t go crazy with color Maximize your “data/ink ratio” Usability is key! Keep design simple “Data-ink ratio” is a concept defined by Edward Tufte, The Visual Display of Quantitative Information
