This should define the scope. All dashboards should have a singlepurpose. Don’t let scope creep destroy your project. If a user can’tsuccinctly describe what the dashboard will be used for in onesentence that probably aren’t going to use it.

Naming the dashboard right up front will help to solidify thepurpose and begin the branding process. Try to be as specific asyou can in naming the dashboard. A generically named dashboardwill be ambiguous to users and may lead to confusion down theroad.

Analytics is all about making better decisions. Just seeing results ina pretty picture does not add any real value.

A dashboard with 20 KPIs is destined to be too complicated andwill inevitably be too broad to provide real value. Limiting thenumber of metrics will aid in the simplicity of the design, as well asfocusing the visualizations to provide specific actionable insights.

The segmentation that the customer provides in this initial meetingare going to be the most important. As time goes by they may wantto add more, but inevitably this initial list informs you what they willbe using the most. Common examples are geographic regions,product types, and customers.

The answer to this question is usually yes, but discussing this upfront will let you know, how much history you need to pull in. Youcan save yourself a lot of refactoring by knowing this information inadvance.
Do You Need to See Trending?

Context around a number is critical to getting any meaning from it.A dashboard without targets needs to have some measure of goodor bad. Start this conversation with the customer now because itwill inevitably come up.

A dashboard with 500 users will likely have more high-level peoplethat need provide input and will have a broader scope. Keep inmind that a larger user base may indicate that it will be used formultiple purposes.

Management loves this question. Being able to eliminate orconsolidate current reporting, especially if that reporting includesmanual effort to compile, can increase the value of the delivery. The#1 way to increase adoption is to remove alternatives.
