AGENDA • What’s a dashboard? • Key elements of a dashboard • Dashboards gone crazy! • What we have today • What works for Fulton, Dekalb…the state?
WHAT’S A DASHBAORD? • Visual display of the most important information needed to achieve one or more objectives • Consolidated and arranged on a single screen so the information can be monitored • At-a-glance view of key performance indicators relevant to a particular objective or business process • Presentation of data that can be understood • Helps to see the big picture Ref: Dashboard Confusion; Excel Dashboards and Reports
WHAT’S A DASHBAORD? It’s not a scorecard!
DASHBAORD vs. SCORECARD SCORECARD Report that displays a collection of key performance indicators (KPI) together with performance targets for each KPI. DASHBOARD A container for a related group of scorecard and report views that are organized together and can be filtered. vs
KEY ELEMENTS OF A DASHBOARD • Simple, communicates easily • Minimum distractions • Supports business with meaningful and useful data • Visually appealing • Saves time • Easily understood Ref: Dashboard Demystified: What is a dashboard?
DASHBOARDS GONE CRAZY! Confusing. Irrelevant. Incorrect. Doesn’t help the user understand the data! Ref: www.dataenthusiast.com
A GOOD DASHBOARD • TWO pieces coming together: information and design • Information: • The most important information needed to achieve one or more objectives • Design: • Visually displayed on a single screen so the information can be monitored at a glance Ref: www.dataenthusiast.com
WHAT WORKS FOR DFCS…GEORGIA? Discussion about the information needed to meet priority objectives
