What makes a dashboard useful, and how have you built one?
Read first: a sample answer
Fictional sample answer written by JoRoute to show the shape of a strong answer. Do not copy it: replace every detail with what is true for you.
A useful dashboard answers one decision for one audience, so I start by asking who opens it and what they do next. For example, in 2023 I built a dashboard in Looker for warehouse managers showing late orders by shift, with only four metrics. I added a data-freshness note at the top so they could trust it. Late orders fell by 15% over the next quarter because managers moved staff to the worst shift. I review my dashboards monthly and remove any chart nobody uses, because good data and analysis starts with the decision.
