Course overview
|
A well-designed dashboard is more than attention-grabbing visuals; it is thoughtfully designed to deliver actionable insights quickly and efficiently to its target audience. Designing Effective Dashboards is a tool-agnostic course focusing on design best practices, ensuring visually appealing and functional dashboards in any dashboarding tool. This course is for dashboard creators at all experience levels, offering beginners a foundation in design principles and experienced professionals an opportunity to hone their skills in line with best practices. Combining engaging lectures and hands-on activities, participants will develop a dashboard wireframe through a case study. Throughout the course, you’ll learn to involve stakeholders in the design process and manage the needs of different users, ensuring your dashboards meet audience expectations and deliver the actionable insights that matter. |
QuestionsUnderstand your audience, define the dashboard’s purpose, and pinpoint crucial questions it must address. This process involves engaging stakeholders to ensure you manage the needs of different users effectively, creating a truly user-centric dashboard. MetricsChoose the right metrics, the best at-a-glance visuals, and determine the contextual information required for an effective dashboard. LayoutDesign a user-centric layout by considering the optimal sequence of information and interactivity, keeping in mind how your audience will interact with the dashboard and catering to their specific requirements. |
