Dashboarding key questions

1. What purpose does this dashboard serve and to whom? Remember your goals! Who will read it and how much time do they have?

2. What actions are desired and how do they measure against business priorities?

3. What data should be reported to support those priorities and over what period of time? Remember, data holds less meaning without trends in time. How will historical information be reported?

4. What technology and people are needed?Are there inaccuracies in the data? Are there tools to help speed data assembly?

5. What is the frequency and is it important to present the same data for each reporting cycle?How to present the data—grid, chart, other? Report template?
