Product Dashboard

A Product Dashboard is a visual representation that aggregates and displays key metrics and indicators related to the development, performance, and user engagement of a software product. It provides a snapshot of the product's current status and trends over time.

Purpose

Data dashboards deliver real-time insights, empowering users to make informed decisions through interactive exploration. They boost efficiency by eliminating static reports and facilitate deeper dives with customisable views and varying levels of granularity.

Anti-patterns

• Data Overload: Including too many metrics without prioritisation, making it hard to discern key insights.
• Lack of Customisation: Not tailoring the dashboard to the specific needs and goals of the product team and stakeholders.
• Ignoring Context: Presenting metrics without benchmarks or historical data for comparison, which can lead to misinterpretation.
• Performance Issues: When not optimised, dynamic dashboards can become slow, especially when handling large datasets or complex queries.
