Executive dashboard with big indicator icons for at-a-glance status of projects
This executive dashboard screenshot features a very graphic approach to showing project status on a dashboard. It’s all about the state of the project, right? Well, if red, green and yellow lights are good, then really big red, green and yellow lights are even better! I like the design.
User interface design is so critical to the success of your enterprise dashboard. When I say success, I really mean the perception in the mind of your users. Who cares if you’ve done a complex SQL join to get the data on the dashboard? Not the users. They are about the size of the Key Performance Indicators and the shades of colors used to display the metrics.
