The Big Book of Dashboards
This book should be read by everybody who works in a business intelligence team. The Big Book of Dashboards, co-authored by Steve Wexler, Jeffrey Shaffer, and Andy Cotgreave, is the authoritative guide on designing excellent dashboards. The writers have a combined 30-plus years of expertise working with people in hundreds of businesses to create successful visualizations. They've been through many 'best practices' conflicts and come out on the other side with a rare empathy to assist you, the reader of this book, to survive and prosper in the world of data visualization.
The Big Book of Dashboards became one of the best books on data visualization because this is the ideal book for business analysts, with a plethora of real-world dashboard examples organized by scenarios: a sales dashboard for executives, rankings over time, complaint monitoring, and churn — all of which are things that you do in the real world. Each chapter contains an example and an explanation of why that dashboard works, as well as detailed discussions on different practical and design aspects across each part. When co-authors dispute within a chapter, it's beneficial to hear both viewpoints.
This book is great for individuals who want to take their dashboard design abilities to the next level, with several examples based on genuine use-cases of dashboards from diverse industries, such as health, finance, marketing, and sports. It covers best practices for developing dashboards, from empathizing with the audience to improving data visualizations inside a dashboard, and is specifically geared toward Tableau users.
Comment for The Big Book of Dashboards: "This book is chock-full of stunning dashboards as well as really practical information from three writers with decades of expertise. It's a gold mine for data-viz aficionados and corporate executives looking to improve their data presentation skills to improve operations."—J.D. Whitlock, VP, Enterprise Intelligence, Mercy Health.
