Designing a Process Performance Dashboard

A process dashboard should help someone decide where attention is needed.

Practical note: process design depends on organization, data, controls, laws, contracts and technology. Treat examples and calculators as educational planning aids, then validate changes against your own requirements.

Show trend and target

A single current number lacks context. Show recent history, expected range or service target.

Include workload

Performance can change because demand changed. Pair cycle-time and backlog measures with incoming and completed volume.

Make exceptions explorable

Aggregate KPIs should lead to categories or cases that explain the change rather than ending the investigation.
