Performance Dashboards: Measuring, Monitoring, and Managing Your Business, 2nd Edition

Suer et excellent. Si tu n’as pas de temps à perdre, ce livre saute dans le concret tout de suite.

I liked this book because it is useful, understandable, sequential, direct to the point, and easy to follow.

One of the books that lives up to its own introductory blurb. I assigned it to my university class as a key reading because it is both broad-ranging and detailed. Far beyond describing how to assemble an electronic dashboard, Wayne Eckerson goes into the business aspects of why you should have a dashboard and what framework (i.e. your strategy and business plans). You can get a lot of e-books that walk you through the clicks and screen shots of how to use a particular product; his book (although the 2nd edition is now a few years old) remains fresh because it isn't based on a tool so much as the architectural aspects of dashboarding, i.e. the types of technical tools and components that are needed to support one. Recognizing of course that UX is a topic you could spend months on, there's a good chapter on layout and user experience. It's available electronically but after your first pass through it, you'll probably be doing enough flipping back to related material in other chapters that it's worth while to spring for the hard-copy, especially since the Kindle version isn't all that cheap.

This book is ostensibly about creating dashboards, however one cannot effectively create a dashboard without also considering strategy, data, architecture etc etc - so whilst the focus of the book is about the dashboard, this is focus and not delineated subject matter. It's a very thorough read for anyone involved in BI

Outstanding, before you get into corporate performance management you really want to read this book!
