Power BI Dashboards
Dashboards are only worth the decision they change. I build executive Power BI dashboards — real-time KPIs, burndown rates, milestone progress — so leadership decides on data, not intuition.
The Workflow — How I Approach It
Define the decision
Start from what leadership must decide — not from what chart looks impressive.
Clean the data model
Validate and shape the data before a single visual — the model is the product.
Build the measures
KPIs, burndown, and milestone measures that answer the decision question.
Design for the audience
Executive view first — one screen that tells the story and surfaces the exception.
Deliver and iterate
Ship, collect feedback, refine — the dashboard earns its place by being used.
My Operating View — The 2 Cents
A dashboard nobody acts on is furniture. My 2 cents: start from the decision leadership must make, then build the visual that supports it. If a KPI has no owner and no action, it doesn’t belong on the page.
What Worked & What Didn’t
What Worked
- Executive dashboards that accelerated real decisions.
- Burndown and milestones visible to leadership in real time.
What Didn’t
- Vanity metrics — green numbers everyone looked at, nobody acted on.
- Charts without owners — insight with no one accountable.
