will first need to understand the most important factors used in dashboards, i.e. KPIs
and metrics.A KPI is a measurable value that indicates a company’s progress
towards its goals and how well that company is achieving its key business
objectives. Selecting the right KPIs for measuring a company’s success is an
important need for any organization.A metric is a quantifiable and measurable unit
within a KPI that tracks processes. With the help of metrics, you can track the
activities and performance of a set target. The dashboard is a single visual display
combining data from several sources to control the health of a business, a
department, or a process, by monitoring the business KPIs, metrics, and key data
points. The word “dashboard” originates from the car dashboard, where the driver of

an information management tool that provides answers to the questions of the
decision makers by tracking and analyzing business performance and helping them
