Data are powerful—but only if you can interpret and act on them. Dashboards are more than charts; they’re tools for storytelling.
· Start by asking: What do I need to know? Choose metrics that matter to your goals—engagement, learning outcomes, revenue, etc.
· Next, use a clean layout that makes data easy to scan. Keep visuals intuitive: bar charts, line graphs, and color-coded alerts work well.
· Avoid clutter. Focus on 4–6 key insights per view. Too many numbers = decision paralysis.
· Use tools like Looker Studio, Power BI, or Tableau to build interactive dashboards you can share with teams or stakeholders.
· Finally, ask: What story is this data telling? Good dashboards don’t just present numbers—they spark action.
