Build dashboards people actually use

Draw it first, settle the layout with the people who asked for it, then hand the developer a spec instead of a description.

Made for the analyst or consultant who gets handed a dashboard request and has to turn it into something buildable.

You build it for three weeks. Then they ask for an Excel export.

The dashboard was not wrong; the wrong dashboard got built. You cannot tell which one you are building until it exists, because a request written in a ticket looks fine right up to the moment you see it rendered.

By then you have written the query and shaped the model around it, so changing the layout means changing both. Your stakeholder asks for a workaround, because by then the fix costs more than the annoyance is worth. People stop opening it.

A drawing costs an afternoon. It is the cheapest moment to be wrong.

So draw it first. Three steps, no design tool.

01Sketch

Drag it out in minutes

Drop KPI cards, charts, tables and filters onto the canvas and they snap to a guide. There are seventeen of them, across as many pages as the dashboard needs, and I picked them because that is what a BI dashboard is made of.

02Agree

Argue while it is still cheap

Send a link. Stakeholders move blocks and leave notes before anyone writes a query, which is the only point where changing the layout is free.

03Hand off

Export something buildable

You export every element with a size, a position and the field it reads from. Whoever builds it in Power BI works from the drawing instead of from memory.

Two ways past the blank canvas

Assistant

Describe it in a sentence

Say who the dashboard is for and what it has to answer. The assistant proposes a layout: which pages, which elements, and one line on why each one is there. You drag it into shape from there. It stays a wireframe while you do, plain enough that people keep arguing with it.

Templates

Or open one that is already drawn

Seven dashboards laid out for sales, finance, HR and operations, in the conventions of Power BI, Tableau and Looker Studio. Open one and change what does not fit.
