This chapter explores the complexities and challenges of dashboard design in analytics, discussing the conflicting views on building dashboards for stakeholders versus personal preferences. It emphasizes the importance of thoughtful dashboard creation to effectively communicate performance data and cautions against viewing dashboards as a one-size-fits-all solution. The conversation also touches on aligning expectations for self-service data usage and the significance of distinguishing between tracking progress on dashboards and deeper analysis for understanding underlying reasons for success.

You know you’ve arrived as a broadcast presence when you open up the phone lines and get your first, "Long time listener, first time caller" person dialing in. Apparently, we have not yet arrived, because no one opened with that when they sent in their questions for this show. Our question is: why not?! Alas! That is a question not answered on this episode. Instead, we got the whole crew together and fielded questions from listeners that were actually worth attempting to answer, and we had a blast doing it!
