What is a Data Dashboard?
It provides a comprehensive view of a company's health and performance, which helps to show trends, performance, and anomalies. Data dashboards can be customized for all sorts of data and integrations that mean the most to a specific business.
Benefits of Data Dashboards
Informed decision-making: They provide a complete picture of a company's past and current performance (and occasionally future projections as well), allowing more informed and data-driven decision-making.
Customization: Data dashboards are customizable, and users can choose the type of visual and info that works best for their business and their data.
Increased productivity: With a real-time view of their data at their fingertips, users can quickly address issues that arise, keeping productivity on track and most importantly, avoiding manual, tedious work and analysis.
Types of Data Dashboards
There are several types of data dashboards for different functions - primarily Financial, Operational, and Marketing. Tactical dashboards show the "in the weeds" and detailed numbers and analytics for those areas. Strategic dashboards show an overview look that help guide the company or division as a whole.
Best Practices for Creating a Data Dashboard
When creating an effective data dashboard, businesses should follow these best practices:
Define KPIs: Have clearly defined KPIs to track before creating a data dashboard.
Choose the proper data visualization: Different data visualizations work best for different data types. Businesses should choose the type of data visualization that works best for their data.
Keep it simple: Data dashboards should be easy to read and understand and avoid clutter.
Use easy to update, accurate data: Without accurate data, your results won't matter. Garbage in, garbage out!
