Do's and Don'ts of Dashboard Management

Data dashboards are essential tools for connecting data to business goals, but their potential is often underutilized when business teams fail to see their relevance, leading to a lack of impactful data-driven decisions. Ethan Aaron and Shinji Kim emphasize optimizing dashboard strategies by focusing on the quality and impact of dashboards rather than their quantity. This involves treating dashboards as products by understanding user needs, prioritizing high-value features, and iterating based on feedback, ultimately ensuring they support key business decisions. Effective dashboard management requires identifying the audience, defining relevant metrics, setting priorities for data projects, and establishing clear success criteria. Employing product management practices can enhance dashboard usability and impact, while tools like Select Star offer intelligent data governance solutions to streamline data management and maximize business insights.
