What the experts say about the Dashboard Wireframe Kit
Brent Dykes
Author of Effective Data Storytelling
"Designing a new dashboard can be challenging. The Dashboard Wireframe Kit removes the technical hurdles and makes it easy to collaborate on a dashboard design with business users. It’s a handy tool in the Storyframing step.
With the help of this kit, you can ensure the metrics are aligned with key business goals, and the charts are tailored to meet the users’ unique needs and preferences.”
SIREESHA PULIPATI
Author Of Data Storytelling With Looker Studio
“Dashboards are effective when they answer questions that matter to the target audience. Wireframing and storyboarding a dashboard with stakeholders is a valuable process that has helped me repeatedly create effective dashboards.
The Dashboard Wireframe Kit is a powerful tool that has helped me create high-quality dashboards quickly and easily. The well-grounded layout with prompts and descriptions made it easy to get started, and the stakeholders I worked with were always satisfied with the results.
I highly recommend this kit to anyone looking to create effective dashboards. What is better than the Dashboard Wireframe Kit? The new upgraded version of it! The new kit offers a Strategic layout, which complements the existing Operational layout. The new and improved kit is definitely opening up more conversations and use cases for me."

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.
EVERY STORY HAS TWO SIDES
The cards have two sides; one for the visualization and the other for the requirements.
Data Visualization Wireframe
Front Of Cards

With 20 chart types included, the common visualizations are represented to facilitate requirements discussions with users and stakeholders. There is the added benefit of supporting data literacy.
RAPID REQUIREMENTS & ACTION
Back Of Cards

This is the "so what?". The back of the cards highlight the questions being answered and the resultant action, if any. It promotes the discussion around business value.
The Dashboard Wireframe Kit can be used by you to bring all these roles together in alignment
