A Business Intelligence tool used to track KPIs, metrics, and other key data points
By using data visualizations, dashboards simplify complex data sets to give users at a glance awareness of performance
A primary goal of data visualization is to communicate information clearly and efficiently

5. “Clutter and confusion are not attributes of data - they are shortcomings of design.” - Edward Tufte
Graphical displays should:
show the data
Cause viewer to think about the substance
avoid distorting what the data says
present many numbers in a small space
make large data sets coherent
encourage the eye to compare different pieces of data
serve a reasonably clear purpose: description, exploration, tabulation
(Tufte, Edward (1983). The Visual Display of Quantitative Information. Cheshire, Connecticut: Graphics Press.)
