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

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.

Most comprehensive book I have read on the subject, its a bit dated in terms of technology, but as for process and considerations this book was fantastic. Highly recommend to any professional developing reports or dashboards.

Great book! This was very detailed and provided sufficient information for a beginner and or expert. I would consider others books by Wayne as well

Excellent Book on scorecards and dashboards. Not very technical, but is an excellent introduction to dashboards and scorecards overall.

I bought this book because it was the assigned textbook for my class. Although it is informative and fairly easy to read, it is not a good for use as a textbook. There is no clear beginning to end process described, in fact the book tends to jump around in the process of developing performance dashboards.

Simply Amazing. Great content, good examples, fantastic execution. I love this book!!

I have read from several sources on performance dashboards. This is an excellent book on the subject and one of the better references.

Great read & foundational input to building robust strategy!
