Challenge Description

Design the best user focused dashboard you’ve ever seen.

Instructions:

What should be on a user dashboard? Add your ideas and headings to the board.

Make it pretty (10 mins)

Demo (5 mins)

Walk someone through the most awesome user focused dashboard. What are the most important metrics to display on a dashboard which represents the user?

Wrap-up:

Creating a user focused dashboard helps us focus on why we are building software and keeps the core things the user really cares about. Comparing current dashboard metrics and visuals with the user focused aspirational view will be an interesting comparison.
