What is a dashboard in a business intelligence context?

< 1 min read

A dashboard in a business intelligence context is a single-page visual summary of key business metrics.
It displays important KPIs, trends, and performance indicators at a glance.
The goal is to provide quick insight for decision-makers.
In one project, the sales dashboard showed Revenue, Profit %, Monthly Trend, and Top Regions.
Leadership used it daily to monitor performance.
Dashboards are interactive and often include slicers and drill features.
They focus on high-level monitoring rather than deep analysis.
A good dashboard is clear, concise, and aligned with business objectives.
