Kpi Dashboard Design

This walks you through building dashboards that actually get used, starting with business goals rather than dumping every metric you can query. You'll pick 5-7 KPIs using criteria like relevance and actionability, then design layouts with visual hierarchy and drill-down capabilities. It covers the full cycle from metric selection to implementation and governance, with examples mapping goals like revenue growth to specific metrics (MRR, CAC, conversion rates). The emphasis on limiting metrics and assigning ownership is smart. Most dashboard projects fail because they try to show everything at once or nobody maintains them after launch.
