Dashboard Layout

┌─────────────────────────────────────────────────┐

Visual Design Principles

/* Traffic light colors for status */
.metric-good { color: #22c55e; }    /* Green */
.metric-warning { color: #f59e0b; } /* Amber */
.metric-bad { color: #ef4444; }     /* Red */

/* Visual hierarchy */
.metric-primary {
  font-size: 2.5rem;
  font-weight: 700;
}

.metric-secondary {
  font-size: 1.5rem;
  font-weight: 500;
}

Chart Selection

Data Type	Chart
Trend over time	Line chart
Comparison	Bar chart
Composition	Pie/Donut
Distribution	Histogram
Correlation	Scatter plot
Funnel stages	Funnel chart

Interactivity Features

Drill-down to detailed views
Date range selection
Filtering by segment

Scheduled email reports

Best Practices

Limit to 5-7 KPIs per dashboard
Show trends, not just snapshots
Use consistent color coding
Include comparison periods (vs last month)
Update data in real-time or hourly
Review dashboard relevance quarterly

Common Mistakes

Too many metrics (information overload)
No clear visual hierarchy
Missing context (no comparisons)
Outdated or stale data
Metrics without ownership
