Dashboards that actually get used

Most construction dashboards stop being opened after three months — not because the figures are wrong, but because they answer no question anyone actually has that week.

Six design principles

1. 1One screen per role.
2. 2Deviation over completeness.
3. 3Show the reference date explicitly.
4. 4Make every number drillable to underlying records.
5. 5Define terms unambiguously.
6. 6Assign an owner per report.
