Choose metrics that matter
Limit to a handful of KPIs tied to goals; avoid vanity metrics.
Design for clarity
Use simple charts, consistent scales, and avoid needless color and 3D effects.
Add context
Include targets, comparisons to previous periods, and brief notes for interpretation.
Refresh and own
Define data refresh schedules and owners; monitor data quality and availability.
