Effective executive dashboards are identified to give clarity, relevance and direct action. When de-signing a dashboard in Power BI, the best practice is to clearly identify the business objectives upfront. Executives need high-level KPIs, literally at-a-glance, so keep your visuals minimalist, relevant and intuitive. Cards, gauges and KPI visuals summarize performance measures, while line and bar charts are useful to represent trends. Color coding and conditional formatting will also drive attention to significant data without overwhelming the viewer.
At Power BI Classes in Pune, professionals are also trained to focus on the story through the data and only use visuals that add value to the viewer and causes them to take action.
Another good practice is to consider your layout and navigation. The last thing you want is for the user to feel overwhelmed with too much information at once, so bookmarks and buttons are extremely useful to unclutter the way users interact with the report but still feel in control of the dashboard while exploring the data. Consistency in design across projects (font style, color themes and alignment) will keep your dashboards looking professional and consistent and enhance readability. Considering how accessible dashboards will be for executives who may be consuming and exploring data on the go, it is a good idea to have dashboards designed using responsive layouts that are compatible with mobile devices.
