In this session we discussed making over an old dashboard for Rea to see how we might re-design it and apply some of the principles of TToT.
This included reducing repetition, using horizontal bars for dimensions (as opposed to columns), adding either a viz in tooltip or additional charts to the dashboard to drill down to the underlying (relevant) values. We also reviewed adding filters to context in order that our “top X” charts were calculating correctly.
We also looked at spicing up a table to include some graphics on the key elements – and discussed how important it is for us to understand our stakeholders likely a) focus and b) line of questioning once they have been presented with initial insights.
