Dashboards and scorecards are among the most popular ways to deliver today’s business intelligence. A top-quality dashboard or scorecard looks deceptively simple. But creating simple and effective interfaces is surprisingly difficult. A powerful dashboard or scorecard involves the right indicators and metrics, the right visual elements, attention to relationships among visual elements, and the right kinds of click-through and user interaction. Further complexity arises when you work with groups of related scorecards and dashboards that must fit together to form an integrated performance management system.
