KPI Dashboard Basics

Build a clear KPI dashboard

This guide covers choosing actionable KPIs, designing uncluttered charts, adding targets and annotations, and setting refresh cadences with owners.

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.
