What’s the difference between a KPI and a metric?
KPIs are critical success indicators tied to business goals. Metrics are any quantifiable data points—only some qualify as KPIs.
How many KPIs should be on one dashboard?
Aim for five to 10 KPIs per dashboard view, depending on complexity. Research on cognitive load suggests people can effectively process five to nine items at once. More than that creates visual clutter and makes it harder to identify what needs attention. Use filters and drill-downs to provide access to additional detail without overwhelming the primary view.
Should dashboards update in real time?
It depends on the dashboard type and the decisions it supports. Operational dashboards (warehouse fulfillment, support queue) often need real-time or near-real-time updates to enable immediate action. Strategic dashboards (executive KPIs, board metrics) typically refresh daily or weekly since the decisions they inform don't change by the hour. Applying real-time updates indiscriminately can create alert fatigue and unnecessary infrastructure costs.
What tools can I use to build dashboards?
Look for platforms that integrate well with your systems, offer visual flexibility, and are easy to scale. Domo is a popular option.
Do dashboards work on mobile devices?
They should! Mobile-responsiveness is essential for on-the-go visibility.
