Dashboard Best Practices

Organization

• Group related metrics together for easier scanning
• Use consistent naming conventions for clarity
• Arrange by priority (most important metrics at the top)

Performance

• Use aggregated data rather than raw datasets
• Archive old dashboards to keep the interface clean

Accessibility

• Choose contrasting colors for charts
• Label all axes and metrics clearly
