A Key Performance Indicator (KPI) dashboard aggregates your most important metrics and provides an at-a-glance view of your business performance. It's essential for quickly understanding how you're doing in key areas, and where you might need to pivot or focus more resources.
Instructions:
Define Your KPIs: Before filling out the dashboard, define your top KPIs. These should align with your business goals and objectives.
Gather Data Sources: Ensure you have access to all the data sources needed to track these KPIs.
Update Regularly: Depending on the KPI, you might update it daily, weekly, or monthly. Schedule a regular time to do this.
Analyze & Adjust: Don't just collect data; analyze it. Use the insights to inform your strategy and make necessary adjustments.
