Role
Identify who can influence the result.
Guide / Dashboards
Design the decision before designing the dashboard.
A useful dashboard answers defined questions for a specific role and connects each measure to a dependable source and next action. Begin with decisions, metric definitions, time boundaries and data quality. Select charts only after the meaning is stable, and allow authorised users to inspect the records behind important totals and exceptions.
