KPI Dashboard Specification

Designs a KPI dashboard with metric definitions, data sources, visualisation types, and alert thresholds for a department.

Prompt
Act as a business intelligence analyst for a [industry] company. Design a KPI dashboard for the [department] team whose primary goal is [goal]. The target audience for this dashboard is [team leads/executives/analysts]. Create a structured specification that includes: (1) 8-12 KPIs grouped by category (leading indicators, lagging indicators, health metrics), (2) for each KPI provide a detailed table with: name, formula/calculation, data source, update frequency, target value, red/amber/green thresholds, and the best chart type to visualise it — for example, 'a sparkline for daily trend, a gauge for current vs target', (3) a suggested dashboard layout describing a 2x4 or 3x3 grid arrangement, (4) 3 drill-down views that users might need, (5) 2 automated alerts with trigger conditions and notification channels. You must ensure each KPI answers a specific business question — state that question. Avoid vanity metrics such as 'total page views' without context. Only include metrics the team can directly influence. Tone should be analytical and precise.
