Module 3 ยท From question to insight Lesson 9 of 15

One dashboard, thirty seconds

Learning objective

A dashboard is an argument, not a data dump. If the reader needs a walkthrough, the layout is the problem.

Worked example

Five numbers, one trend line and one breakdown answers almost every recurring question โ€” and every extra chart halves the chance the first one gets read.

Your practice task

Build a one-screen dashboard for your dataset and ask someone to tell you the story in their own words without your help.

Do this before moving on. Reading a solution teaches the shape of it; typing it teaches you.

Key takeaway

A dashboard is an argument, not a data dump. If the reader needs a walkthrough, the layout is the problem.
