Introducing the Dashboard Wireframe Kit


The all new Dashboard Wireframe Kit

The Dashboard Wireframe Kit is a proven and tested means of rapidly wireframing dashboards to align your data with the needs of the business, meet user goals and achieve actionable outcomes.


It doesn’t matter if you are not a data pro. The kit allows you to quickly communicate ideas and test concepts without having to touch a line of code or know data visualization best practices. What’s important is what questions you want answered and what behavior you want to change.

Align users and stakeholders on actionable business insight

Bringing people together

The Dashboard Wireframe Kit is a simple means of extracting business value from data in a form that is easily understandable, to both technical and non-technical people alike, that provides a clear path to action. All while adhering to basic storytelling principles and applying best practices in data visualization and dashboard design.


It teaches anyone how to extract business value from data and frames a clear path to action. Becoming truly data-driven starts here.


The Dashboard Wireframe Kit is the first-of-its-kind in the data and analytics world; a world that has become highly technical, and digitally enabled. Yet the tangible, human element is muted to the vast swathe of data - often left to the wayside.

The perfectly designed change agent

Crafted from years of analytics consulting projects, visualization best practices and real-world application.

Proven Formula

We’ve taken the guesswork out of how to layout the enterprise dashboard. Our dashboard template is based on the solid foundation hundreds of real-world operational dashboards. It provides the canvas to tell stories with your data.

Business Value

By having a questions-first approach, rather than flooding the dashboard with data, we have formalized achieving business value into the kit itself. Priority is given to solving business problems and answering questions, assuming the data is there to support it.

Behavioral Change

There’s not much point seeing data if you can act on it when you need to. That action needs to be clear and intuitive. By associating an action with each chart the potential to change behavior is much increased.

Technology Independent

Simplicity is king in enterprise dashboards. That’s why we’ve made sure the wireframes produced in this kit can be easily replicated in all the main dashboard tools including Tableau, Qlik and Power BI.

Data Storytelling and Action

Storytelling and action are woven into the fabric of the layout

Storytelling is hard, but it does work. The kit structure supports a simple narrative arc that was pioneered by Nicholas Kelly after years of dashboard consulting with the Global Fortune 100.

The newly designed dashboard template embeds this storytelling process directly into the board. Just follow the steps on the board and the heavy-lifting is done for you on how to create the narrative from the KPIs to the charts to action and resolution. This makes achieving greater business value that much easier.

Real-world application

The Enterprise Dashboard Process

The Dashboard Wireframe Kit includes the same set of templates that have been used in countless workshops to design enterprise-grade dashboards that help improve profits and meet the goals of the business. It just works. It’s fast and saves hours of effort. The time spent on picking the exact right chart is replaced by aligning stakeholder needs and getting value out of the data.

To see how it works in practice read Enterprise Dashboard Layout: Keeping it Simple. For a more general perspective on the value of this approach the answer on Quora to “What is the best dashboard design?” is worth a read.

What people say about the Dashboard Wireframe Kit


This tried and tested kit helps you to easily gather requirements and be able to put a wireframe together that will allow you to visually appreciate how well you are doing to get to actionable information while keeping things simple enough for a user to understand.

@ transunion

The kit not only helps when meeting with our business users, but also within our analytics team. Instead of creating prototype dashboards and then iterating, we can use these templates and iterate on the fly.

John Kuester

@ Focus brands

Ultimately an effective dashboard starts with the right questions, then supports and answers those questions in a logical order. This product does a great job prompting the user through that process.

@ Farm Bureau Insurance

The wire-frame kit has already proved useful in all stages of dashboard development, but the kit really shines during the collaborative process when you can actually build the elements of a dashboard in the room with your stakeholders.
