Data Dashboard Q&A (7): Can Dashboards Be a One-Stop-Shop? What’s Realistic vs. Perfect

Data Dashboard Q&A (7): Can Dashboards Be a One-Stop-Shop? What’s Realistic vs. Perfect

Can dashboards really be the one place you go for all your business decisions? The short answer: yes—but perfection isn’t the goal. This Q&A tackles a big misconception: your dashboard doesn’t have to be 100% accurate to be insanely helpful. 90% correct data that helps you move faster is way more valuable than chasing 100% accuracy and ending up in tech debt. Key takeaway: Dashboards are meant to drive decisions—not recreate every single data source perfectly. Want to stay data-driven?

Data Dashboard Q&A (6): Are Dashboards a Subscription Service or One-Time Investment?

Are dashboards a one-time cost or yet another monthly subscription? This Q&A video tackles a big misconception: "Will I have to pay for my dashboard forever?" (Spoiler: not necessarily!) Think of dashboards like tools: if they're still bringing you value every month, the cost makes sense. If not? You don’t need to stay subscribed. It’s that simple. Want to stay data-driven?
